DEMOGRAPHICS

Our community is a great mix of longtime locals and passionate new arrivals, tied together by common values for family, nature and the north.  ​

US government census data for Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, lists population statistics including age and income information.

The Western Upper Peninsula Planning & Development Region (WUPPDR) completed Target Market Analyses (TMA) for all the counties in their region. The retail TMAs evaluate existing market conditions, oversupply, and undersupply, and make recommendations for retail areas in which to promote growth. TMAs consider the characteristics of specific population groups within a community and evaluate the appropriate housing mix to accommodate their preferences and thus market potential for housing development. You can find the retail and residential TMAs here.
