Twelve million people live along Lake Michigan's shores, mainly in the [[Chicago]] and [[Milwaukee]] metropolitan areas. The economy of many communities in [[northern Michigan]] and [[Door County, Wisconsin]], is supported by [[tourism]], with large seasonal populations attracted by Lake Michigan.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/explore/coastal-communities/economic-vitality-and-the-great-lakes/ |title=Economic Vitality and the Great Lakes &#124; Michigan Sea Grant |access-date=February 3, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171219144458/http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/explore/coastal-communities/economic-vitality-and-the-great-lakes/ |archive-date=December 19, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Many seasonal residents have summer homes along the waterfront and return to other homes for the winter.
