Residents have a one in 1,286 chance of being the victim of a violent crime and a one in 178 chance of being the victim of a property crime, which may make the city a good option for active seniors.
- Summers in Macomb are fairly comfortable with highs around 82 degrees. Winters are chilly with lows around 17 degrees, and the city gets an average of 32 inches of snow per year.
