The beat runs across Ann Arbor city hall and the Washtenaw County board of commissioners, Ann Arbor Public Schools and the university and health care employers that dominate the local economy. From Old West Side and Kerrytown to Ann Arbor Hills, Burns Park and West Park, neighborhood coverage extends through the city and into Wayne County, Oakland County, Livingston County and Monroe County where a story crosses the line. The University of Michigan and its health system are the largest employers and the most consequential institutional forces in Ann Arbor, shaping everything from housing demand to research policy and municipal tax structure.
