Cell towers in Niles, Michigan
The FCC register lists 29 antenna structures in and around Niles. That is the 18th highest count of any place in Michigan.
Overview
Niles, MI has 29 registered structures, the tallest standing 154 m (505 ft) above ground.
Counted against 11,665 residents, that is 248.6 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.
Heights are uneven: the median is 61 m (199 ft) but the tallest is 154 m (505 ft), roughly 2.5 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.
Lattice towers (1) and guyed masts (4) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
Registrations here span 1971 to 2025.

About this data
All figures on this page are aggregated from the federal antenna structure register of 2026-08-23, not from carrier coverage data. The two answer different questions.
The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
