About this Directory
This directory, “Community and Economic Profiles for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula,” lists 2011 and 2010 county data for each of the fifteen counties of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (U.P.). Information in the Directory is based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and data provided by the State of Michigan’s Department of Technol-ogy, Management & Budget (www.milmi.org) and data collected through Chambers of Commerce and Economic Development Organizations. This data can be used to monitor local economic conditions and trends, provide economic profiles for new, existing and prospective businesses, and identify new and existing consumption, savings, investment and giving opportunities for future growth and development within and across counties. 2011 data is featured here because the 2012 data was not finalized by the U.S. Federal Government until March 2013.
The Researchers
Tawni Hunt Ferrarini, Ph.D., Sam M. Cohodas Professor at NMU and Hannah Kratz, Sam M. Cohodas Assistant, 2012 NMU B.A. economics. Special thanks are extended to the Upper Peninsula Economic Development Alliance for initially launching this project.

Gogebic County, MIGogebic County is Upper Michigan’s most western county, bordering Wisconsin and Lake Superior. Its economy is comprised of three dominant sectors: diverse industries, forest products, and tourism. Non-forest related industries include precision tool making, plastic injection molding, industrial sewing operations and electronic assembly. Forest related industries include logging, sawmills, and dimension mills with regional, national and international markets. The forest provides recreation and tourism activities including mountain biking, snowmobiling, downhill and cross country trails, hiking, and camping. Ottawa National Forest, including Sylvania Wilderness Area, is an inviting recreation area. The tourism industry focuses on a wealth of natural resources located in the county. Lake Superior, trout streams, waterfalls, and inland lakes including Lake Gogebic draw fair weather visitors, while four alpine ski hills/resorts in the county and miles of ski and snowmobile trails offer winter activities.

Keweenaw County, MIThe least populated county in Michigan, Keweenaw County villages are home to proud descendants of miners who each have a story to tell of the “copper country”. The county is home to diverse landscape--from singing sand beaches to the oldest known lava formations on earth can be found along the shores. An all-encompassing view from 700- to 900-foot peaks takes in vast strands of forest, lakes, hills and water. Keweenaw, pronounced KEY-wah-nah, is an Ojibway word that means “the crossing place” or “land crossing between two bodies of water.” It refers to traversing Portage Lake to reach the Keweenaw Peninsula. This area hosts world class trails, waterways, natural views and endless shorelines and relatively quick access to Isle Royale. Census 2000 2010 % Change
