Answer

J'habite à Michigan

Answer

It depends on the state, but for Michigan you would say "J'habite au Michigan."

It's important to note that it will either be au, en, or dans le (dans l'). The exception is Hawaii because à is also used with islands (J'habite à Hawaii)

Answer

James, “dans le Michigan” as per original post. “Au” is used with very few states/provinces as noted in the lesson linked there.
