It's important to note that all of the Michigan towns above have very small populations.  Cedar, for example, the most Irish town in Michigan by percentage of the population has less than 100 residents.  On the flip side of this, the Michigan cities with a large Irish community have a higher population of Irish residents but a far lower percentage.  With that being said, let's take a look at the size of each Irish community below.
