Distance, open roads and small-town visibility
With roughly 87 residents per square mile across 34 square miles, Milford Township is spread out. Unfamiliar vehicles are noticed on quiet roads, distances between stops are longer, and a single subject can cover a lot of ground.

Long commutes and out-of-town routines
Workers in Milford Township spend about 41 minutes getting to work on average (ACS 2020-2024). When someone's day happens mostly elsewhere, an investigation may begin in Milford Township but continue across the region, which affects timing, staffing and cost.
