BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Depending on your metric, Battle Creek is a 'big city.' According to the 2020 census, just over 51,000 people live in Battle Creek — not large even by Michigan standards. If measured by population, it settles in as the 32nd-largest city in the state — behind giant metropolises like Novi and Kentwood. But by land, Battle Creek is actually the third largest city in the state — behind only Detroit and Grand Rapids. It's not the most popular tourist town in Michigan, but most Michiganders know a few basic facts.
