The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Almer Charter Township is a charter township of Tuscola County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,965 at the 2020 census. It is the only charter township in the Upper Thumb region of Michigan, and is the only charter township in Michigan to have a population less than the 2,000 resident population requirement set by the Charter Township Act of 1947. Because of this, it is the least populated Charter Township in Michigan.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 3,101 to 1,965 (-37%). Half of its homes were built before 1977.
