Modern subdivision yards, one big growth wave
Canton Township organized in 1834 and served as a dairy-farming hub through most of the 20th century; its population held near 5,300 as late as 1961, then more than quadrupled within a few years of I-275's 1977 completion, reaching 98,659 residents by 2020 — Michigan's second-largest township.
Builder-grade decks reaching replacement age
Because so much of Canton's housing dates to the subdivision boom that followed I-275's 1977 opening, a large share of the township's original builder-grade decks are now 20-45 years old and reaching the point where ledger connections, footings, and structural framing warrant a full replacement rather than a repair — particularly on homes that haven't been touched since the original build.
