Introduction This is the first edition of Profiles of Michigan – Facts, Figures & Statistics for all 2,026 Populated Places in Michigan. As for the other state titles in our Profiles of… series, we built this work using content from Grey House Publishing’s award-winning Profiles of America – a 4-volume compilation of data on more than 42,000 places in the United States. We have updated and included the Michigan chapter from Profiles of America, and added entire fresh chapters of demographic information and ranking sections, so that Profiles of Michigan is the most comprehensive portrait of the state of Michigan ever published. This first edition provides data on all populated communities and counties in the state of Michigan, from bustling urban centers to the hard-to-find outposts. It includes seven major chapters that cover everything from Education to Ethnic Backgrounds to Climate. All chapters include Comparative Statistics or Rankings, and 4-color Maps at the back of the book provide valuable information in a quickly processed, visual format. Here’s an overview of each chapter: 1. Profiles This chapter, organized by county, gives detailed profiles of 2,026 places plus 83 counties, and is based on the 2000 Census. This core Census data has been so extensively updated, however, that nearly 80% of this chapter has 2005 numbers. In addition, we have added current government statistics and original research, so that these profiles pull together statistical and descriptive information on every Census-recognized place in the state. Major fields of information include:
Geography Ancestry Economy
Housing Transportation Industry
Education
Religion
Population
Climate
Health
In addition to place profiles, this chapter includes an Alphabetical Place Index and Comparative Statistics that compare Michigan’s 100 largest communities by dozens of data points. 2. Education This chapter begins with an Educational State Profile, summarizing number of schools, students, diplomas granted and educational dollars spent. Following the state profile are School District Rankings on 16 topics ranging from Teacher/Student Ratios to High School Drop-Out Rates. Following these rankings are 2005 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and Spring 2006 Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) Results. 3. Ancestry This chapter provides a detailed look at the ancestral and racial makeup of Michigan. 217 ethnic categories are ranked three ways: 1) by number, based on all places regardless of population; 2) by percent, based on all places regardless of population; 3) by percent, based on places with populations of 10,000 or more. You will discover, for example, that Dearborn in Wayne County has the greatest number of Hungarians in the state at 2,232, and that Norwegians make up 11.8% of the population of Bay de Noc in Delta County. 4. Hispanic Population This chapter defines Michigan’s Hispanic population by 23 Hispanic backgrounds from Argentinian to Venezuelan. It ranks each of 15 categories, from Median Age to Median Home Value, by each Hispanic background. For example, you’ll see that Sturgis in Saint Joseph County has the highest percentage of
Mexicans who speak Spanish at home . . . and that Grand Rapids in Kent County has the most Cubans who own their own home. 5. Asian Population Similar in format to the chapter on Hispanic Population, this chapter defines Michigan’s Asian population by 21 Asian backgrounds from Bangladeshi to Vietnamese. It ranks each of 14 categories, from Median Age to Median Home Value, by each Asian background. You will learn that Ann Arbor in Washtenaw County is the place with the greatest number of Chinese in the state, and that West Bloomfield in Oakland County has the highest percent of Filipinos who are college graduates. 6. Weather This important topic is explored in detail in this chapter, which includes a State Summary, a map of the state’s weather stations, and profiles of both National and Cooperative Weather Stations. In addition, you’ll find Weather Station Rankings, where you’ll see that, over the 30-year recorded period, Stambaugh 2 SSE and Stephenson 8 WNW reported the lowest annual extreme minimum temperature at –45 degrees. This chapter also includes current Storm data, with the most destructive storms ranked by both fatalities and property damage, from 1981-2006. Here you will learn that an ice storm in April 2003 caused $161 million in damage in northern Oakland and Macomb counties and that extreme heat was responsible for 17 fatalities in west central Michigan in July 1995. 7. Maps For a more visual point of view, there are 16 color maps of Michigan at the back of the book. They provide information on topics such as Core-Based Statistical Areas and Counties, Population Demographics, Household Size, Median Age, Income, Median Home Values, Educational Attainment, Congressional Districts, and another look at who voted for George Bush in 2004. Note: The extensive User’s Guide that follows this Introduction is segmented into six sections and examines, in some detail, each data field in the individual profiles and comparative sections for all chapters. It provides sources for all data points and statistical definitions as necessary.
User’s Guide: Profiles PLACES COVERED All 83 counties. 535 incorporated municipalities. Municipalities are incorporated as either cities or villages. 1,233 minor civil divisions. Called township and charter townships in Michigan. 93 census designated places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.” 165 unincorporated communities. The communities included have both their own zip code and statistics for their ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) available from the Census Bureau. They are referred to as “postal areas.” A ZCTA is a statistical entity developed by the Census Bureau to approximate the delivery area for a US Postal Service 5-digit or 3-digit ZIP Code in the US and Puerto Rico. A ZCTA is an aggregation of census blocks that have the same predominant ZIP Code associated with the mailing addresses in the Census Bureau’s Master Address File. Thus, the Postal Service’s delivery areas have been adjusted to encompass whole census blocks so that the Census Bureau can tabulate census data for the ZCTAs. ZCTAs do not include all ZIP Codes used for mail delivery and therefore do not precisely depict the area within which mail deliveries associated with that ZIP Code occur. Additionally, some areas that are known by a unique name, although they are part of a larger incorporated place, are also included as “postal areas.”

Important Notes Profiles of Michigan uses the term “community” to refer to all places except counties. The term “county” is used to refer to counties and county-equivalents. All places are defined as of the 2000 Census. Several states, including Michigan, have incorporated municipalities and minor civil divisions in the same county with the same name. Those communities are given separate entries (e.g. Harrisville, Michigan, in Alcona County will be listed under both the city and township of Harrisville). In each community profile, only school districts that have schools that are physically located within the community are shown. In addition, statistics for each school district cover the entire district, regardless of the physical location of the schools within the district. Special care should be taken when interpreting certain statistics for communities containing large colleges or universities. College students were counted as residents of the area in which they were living while attending college (as they have been since the 1950 census). One effect this may have is skewing the figures for population, income, housing, and educational attainment. Some information (e.g. unemployment rates) is available for both counties and individual communities. Other information is available for just counties (e.g. election results), or just individual communities (e.g. local newspapers). Some statistical information is available only for larger communities. In addition, the larger places are more apt to have services such as newspapers, airports, school districts, etc. For the most complete information on any community, you should also check the entry for the county in which the community is located. In addition, more information and services will be listed under the larger places in the county.

DATA SOURCES CENSUS 2000 The parts of the data which are from the 2000 Decennial Census are from the following sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary Files 1 and 3. Summary File 3 (SF 3) consists of 813 detailed tables of Census 2000 social, economic and housing characteristics compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire. Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains 286 tables focusing on age, sex, households, families, and housing units. This file presents 100-percent population and housing figures for the total population, for 63 race categories, and for many other race and Hispanic or Latino categories. Comparing SF 3 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 3 and values in SF 1 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 3 will, however, match the SF 1 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas, whereas SF 3 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 3 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile. 2005 Estimates and 2010 Projections Some 2000 Census data has been updated with data provided by Claritas. Founded in 1971, Claritas is the industry leader in applied demography and the preeminent provider of small-area demographic estimates.

HISTORY History: Historical information. Source: Columbia University Press, The Columbia Gazetteer of North America; Original research. POPULATION Population: 1990 and 2000 figures are a 100% count of population. 2005 estimates and 2010 projections were provided by Claritas. Source: Claritas; U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 1. Population by Race: 2005 estimates includes the U.S. Bureau of the Census categories of White alone; Black alone; Asian alone; and Hispanic of any race. Alone refers to the fact that these figures are not in combination with any other race. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.
• • •
•
White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish. Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “Black, African American, or Negro,” or provide written entries such as African American, Afro-American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.” Hispanic. The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Population Density: 2005 population divided by the land area in square miles. Source: Claritas; U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 1. Average Household Size: Average household size was calculated by dividing the total population by the total number of households. Figures are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Age: Figures are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Male/Female Ratio: Number of males per 100 females. Figures are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Marital Status: Percentage of population never married, now married, widowed, or divorced. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The marital status classification refers to the status at the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated only for the population 15 years old and over. Each person was asked whether they were “Now married,” “Widowed,” “Divorced,” or “Never married.” Couples who live together (for example, people in common-law marriages) were able to report the marital status they considered to be the most appropriate.
• • • •
Never married. Never married includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled. Now married. All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined as “separated.” Widowed. This category includes widows and widowers who have not remarried. Divorced. This category includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried.
Foreign Born: Percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. Ancestry: Largest ancestry groups reported (up to five). Includes multiple ancestries. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun evolved in the United States. The ancestry question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. Hispanic and race groups are included in the ‘‘Other groups’’ category for the ancestry tables in these tabulations. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively. The data is based on the total number of ancestries reported and coded. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturing and Construction Division (http://www.census.gov/const/www/permitsindex.html). Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places.

Per Capita Income: Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Average Household Income: Average household income is obtained by dividing total household income by the total number of households. Figures shown are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Percent of Households with Income of $100,000 or more: Figures shown are 2005 estimates. Source: Claritas. Poverty Rate: Percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold.

Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places.

Age-adjusted death rates are weighted averages of the age-specific death rates, where the weights represent a fixed population by age. They are used because the rates of almost all causes of death vary by age. Age adjustment is a technique for “removing” the effects of age from crude rates, so as to allow meaningful comparisons across populations with different underlying age structures. For example, comparing the crude rate of heart disease in New York to that of California is misleading, because the relatively older population in New York will lead to a higher crude death rate, even if the age-specific rates of heart disease in New York and California are the same. For such a comparison, age-adjusted rates would be preferable. Age-adjusted rates should be viewed as relative indexes rather than as direct or actual measures of mortality risk. Death rates based on counts of twenty or less (<=20) are flagged as “Unreliable”. Death rates based on fewer than three years of data for counties with populations of less than 100,000 in the 1990 Census counts, are also flagged as “Unreliable” if the number of deaths is five or less (<=5). Air Quality Index: The percentage of days in 2005 the AQI fell into the Good (0-50), Moderate (51-100), Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101-150), and Unhealthy (151+) ranges. Source: Air Quality Index Report, 2005, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation (http://www.epa.gov/oar). The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health effects. The AQI runs from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health danger. For example, an AQI value of 50 represents good air quality and little potential to affect public health, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality. An AQI value of 100 generally corresponds to the national air quality standard for the pollutant, which is the level EPA has set to protect public health. So, AQI values below 100 are generally thought of as satisfactory. When AQI values are above 100, air quality is considered to be unhealthy—at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher. Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern. For example, when the AQI for a pollutant is between 51 and 100, the health concern is “Moderate.” Here are the six levels of health concern and what they mean:
User’s Guide: Profiles
• • •
• • •
“Good” The AQI value for your community is between 0 and 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” The AQI for your community is between 51 and 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of individuals. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms. “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” Certain groups of people are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of certain air pollutants. This means they are likely to be affected at lower levels than the general public. For example, children and adults who are active outdoors and people with respiratory disease are at greater risk from exposure to ozone, while people with heart disease are at greater risk from carbon monoxide. Some people may be sensitive to more than one pollutant. When AQI values are between 101 and 150, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected when the AQI is in this range. “Unhealthy” AQI values are between 151 and 200. Everyone may begin to experience health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. “Very Unhealthy” AQI values between 201 and 300 trigger a health alert, meaning everyone may experience more serious health effects. “Hazardous” AQI values over 300 trigger health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

User’s Guide: Education National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as “the Nation’s Report Card,” is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. As a result of the “No Child Left Behind” legislation, all states are required to participate in NAEP. For more information please visit the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard.
Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) The Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) was initiated by the State Board of Education, supported by the Governor and funded by the Michigan legislature through Public Act 307 of 1969 (Section 14). From 1969 until 1972, MEAP used norm-referenced tests from a commercial test publisher. Students' scores were ranked in comparison to each other, but gave no information in terms of meeting a specified standard. In 1973-74, Michigan educators began working with Michigan Department of Education (MDE) staff to develop specific performance objectives to serve as the basis for the first tests built to Michigan specifications. Current MEAP tests are based on the Content Standards developed by Michigan educators and approved by the Michigan State Board of Education in 1995. MEAP tests are criterion-referenced, meaning that each student's results are judged and reported against a set performance standard. If a student meets the standard, it means he/she meets expectations on the recommended state curriculum. Educators from throughout Michigan continue to revise and update Michigan curriculum documents that serve as the basis for MEAP and in the development and ongoing improvement of these tests. The Michigan Revised School Code and the State School Aid Act require the establishment of educational standards and the assessment of student academic achievement. Accordingly, the State Board of Education, with the input of educators throughout Michigan, approved a system of academic standards and a framework within which local school districts could develop, implement, and align curricula with those standards. The MEAP tests have been recognized nationally as sound, reliable and valid measurements of academic achievement. Students who score high on these tests have demonstrated significant achievement in valued knowledge and skill. Further, the tests provide the only common denominator in the state to measure in the same way, at the same time, how all Michigan students are doing on the same skills and knowledge.

User’s Guide: Ancestry Places Covered The ranking tables are based on 1,852 places in Michigan. Places covered fall into one of the following categories: 272 cities; 262 villages; 1,233 townships; and 84 Census Designated Places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.”
Source of Data The ancestries shown in this chapter were compiled from three different sections of the 2000 Census: Race; Hispanic Origin; and Ancestry. While the ancestries are sorted alphabetically for ease-of-use, it’s important to note the origin of each piece of data. Data for Race and Hispanic Origin was taken from Summary File 1 (SF1) while Ancestry data was taken from Summary File 3 (SF3). The distinction is important because SF1 contains the 100-percent data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit. SF3 was compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire.
Ancestries Based on Race The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of all people. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned.

African American or Black: A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Black, African Am., or Negro,’’ or provide written entries such as African American, Afro American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below. American Indian - Includes people who indicated their race as “American Indian,” entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish-American Indian. Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997 Federal Register Notice, entitled “Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs,” Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget. Alaska Native - Includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians, as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race. Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The data on the Hispanic or Latino population were derived from answers to a question that was asked of all people. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire (“Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban”) as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. In all cases where the origin of households, families, or occupied housing units is classified as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino, the origin of the householder is used. If an individual could not provide a Hispanic origin response, their origin was assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if origin was missing for a natural-born daughter in the household, then either the origin of the householder, another natural-born child, or spouse of the householder was assigned. If Hispanic origin was not reported for anyone in the household, the Hispanic origin of a householder in a previously processed household with the same race was assigned.

The data on ancestry were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 10, which was asked of a sample of the population. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities, such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun, evolved in the United States. The intent of the ancestry question was not to measure the degree of attachment the respondent had to a particular ethnicity. For example, a response of “Irish” might reflect total involvement in an Irish community or only a memory of ancestors several generations removed from the individual. Also, the question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Official Hispanic origin data come from long-form questionnaire Item 5, and official race data come from long-form questionnaire Item 6. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively.

Census 2000 tabulations on ancestry are presented using two types of data presentations — one using total people as the base, and the other using total responses as the base. This chapter uses total responses as the base and includes the total number of ancestries reported and coded. If a person reported a multiple ancestry such as “French Danish,” that response was counted twice in the tabulations — once in the French category and again in the Danish category. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses. An automated coding system was used for coding ancestry in Census 2000. This greatly reduced the potential for error associated with a clerical review. Specialists with knowledge of the subject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolved inconsistent or incomplete responses. The code list used in Census 2000, containing over 1,000 categories, reflects the results of the Census Bureau’s experience with the 1990 ancestry question, research, and consultation with many ethnic experts. Many decisions were made to determine the classification of responses. These decisions affected the grouping of the tabulated data. For example, the Italian category includes the responses of Sicilian and Tuscan, as well as a number of other responses. Although some people consider religious affiliation a component of ethnic identity, the ancestry question was not designed to collect any information concerning religion. Thus, if a religion was given as an answer to the ancestry question, it was listed in the “Other groups” category which is not shown in this chapter. Ancestry should not be confused with a person’s place of birth, although a person’s place of birth and ancestry may be the same.
Ranking Section In the ranking section of this chapter, each ancestry has three tables. The first table shows the top 10 places sorted by number (based on all places, regardless of population), the second table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on all places, regardless of population), the third table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on places with populations of 10,000 or more). Within each table, column one displays the place name, the state, and the county (if a place spans more than one county, the county that holds the majority of the population is shown). Column two displays the number of people reporting each ancestry, and column three is the percent of the total population reporting each ancestry. For tables representing ancestries based on race or Hispanic origin, the 100-percent population figure from SF1 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column. For all other ancestries the sample population figure from SF3 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column.

User’s Guide: Hispanic Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and all places in Michigan with populations of 10,000 or more.
Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 24 population groups: Hispanic or Latino (of any race) Central American Costa Rican Guatemalan Honduran Nicaraguan Panamanian Salvadoran Cuban Dominican (Dominican Republic) Mexican Puerto Rican South American Argentinian Bolivian Chilean Colombian Ecuadorian Paraguayan Peruvian Uruguayan Venezuelan Spaniard Other Hispanic or Latino Please note that the above list only includes Spanish-speaking population groups. Groups such as Brazilian are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census because they primarily speak Portugese. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Chilean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Chilean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error. In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder.

Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.
Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population. Hispanic Population: The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. Population groups whose primary language is not Spanish are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census and are not included in this chapter (eg. Brazilian). AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Spanish: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking Spanish at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. 4-Years College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree. Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school

graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind,

or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations.
User’s Guide: Hispanic Population
Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

User’s Guide: Asian Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and places in Michigan with Asian and/or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander residents.
Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 23 population groups: Asian Asian Indian Bangladeshi Cambodian Chinese (except Taiwanese) Filipino Hmong Indonesian Japanese Korean Laotian Malaysian Pakistani Sri Lankan Taiwanese Thai Vietnamese Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Fijian Guamanian or Chamorro Hawaiian, Native Samoan Tongan Please note that this chapter only includes people who responded to the question on race by indicating only one race. These people are classified by the Census Bureau as the race alone population. For example, respondents reporting a single detailed Asian group, such as Korean or Filipino, would be included in the Asian alone population. Respondents reporting more than one detailed Asian group, such as Chinese and Japanese or Asian Indian and Chinese and Vietnamese would also be included in the Asian alone population. This is because all of the detailed groups in these example combinations are part of the larger Asian race category. The same criteria apply to the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander groups. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Korean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Korean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error.

In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder. Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.
Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population of all races. Asian Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes Asian Indian, Bangladeshi, Cambodian, Chinese (except Taiwanese), Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Taiwanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as Fijian, Guamanian or Chamorro, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. The data on race, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 6 and short-form questionnaire Item 8. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or
xxxiv
User’s Guide: Asian Population
the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned. AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable. HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. Four-Year College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree.
User’s Guide: Asian Population
Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood,

User’s Guide: Asian Population
sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind, or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you

or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations. Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.
User’s Guide: Weather Inclusion Criteria — How the Data and Stations Were Selected There were two central goals in the preparation of the weather chapter. The first was to select those data elements which would have the broadest possible use by the greatest range of potential users. For most of the National Weather Service stations there is a substantial quantity and variety of climatological data that is collected, however for the majority of stations the data is more limited. After evaluating the available data set, the editors chose nine temperature measures, five precipitation measures, and heating and cooling degree days — sixteen key data elements that are widely requested and are believed to be of the greatest general interest. The second goal was to provide data for as many weather stations as possible. Although there are over 10,000 stations in the United States, not every station collects data for both precipitation and temperature, and even among those that do, the data is not always complete for the last thirty years. As the editors used a different methodology than that of NCDC to compute data, a formal data sufficiency criteria was devised and applied to the source tapes in order to select stations for inclusion. Sources of the Data The data in the weather chapter is compiled from several sources. The majority comes from the original National Climactic Data Center computer tapes (TD-3220 Summary of Month Co-Operative). This data was used to create the entire table for each Cooperative station and part of each National Weather Service station. The remainder of the data for each NWS station comes from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary, Version 4.0, September 1996, which is also available from the NCDC. NCDC has two main classes or types of weather stations; first order stations which are staffed by professional meteorologists and cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers. In the weather chapter all first order stations operated by the National Weather Service are included, as well as every cooperative station that met our selection criteria. Potential cautions in using Weather America First, as with any statistical reference work of this type, users need to be aware of the source of the data. The information here comes from NOAA, and it is the most comprehensive and reliable core data available. Although it is the best, it is not perfect. Most weather stations are staffed by volunteers, times of observation sometimes vary, stations occasionally are moved (especially over a thirty year period), equipment is changed or upgraded, and all of these factors affect the uniformity of the data. the weather chapter does not attempt to correct for these factors, and is not intended for either climatologists or atmospheric scientists. Users with concerns about data collection and reporting protocols are both referred to NCDC technical documentation, and also, they are perhaps better served by using the original computer tapes themselves as well. Second, users need to be aware of the methodology used, which is described later in this User’s Guide. Although this methodology has produced fully satisfactory results, it is not directly compatible with other methodologies, hence variances in the results published here and those which appear in other publications will doubtlessly arise. Third, is the trap of that informal logical fallacy known as “hasty generalization,” and its corollaries. This may involve presuming the future will be like the past (specifically, next year will be an average year), or it may involve misunderstanding the limitations of an arithmetic average, but more interestingly, it may involve those mistakes made most innocently by generalizing informally on too broad a basis. As weather is highly localized, the data should be taken in that context. A weather station collects data about climatic conditions at that spot, and that spot may or may not be an effective paradigm for an entire town or area. For example, the weather station in Burlington, Vermont is located at the airport about 3 miles east of the center of town. Most of Burlington is a lot closer to Lake Champlain, and that should mean to a careful user that there could be a significant difference between the temperature readings gathered at the weather station and readings that might be gathered at City Hall downtown. How much would this difference be? How could it be estimated? There are no answers here for these sorts of questions, but it is important for users of this book to raise them for themselves. (It is interesting to note that similar situations abound across the country. For example, compare different readings for the multiple stations in San Francisco, CA or for those around New York City.) Our source of data has been consistent, so has our methodology. The data has been computed and reported consistently as well. As a result, the the weather chapter should prove valuable to the careful and informed reader.

Weather Station Tables The weather station tables are grouped by type (National Weather Service and Cooperative) and then arranged alphabetically. The station name is almost always a place name, and is shown here just as it appears in NCDC data. The station name is followed by the county in which the station is located, the elevation of the station (at the time beginning of the thirty year period) and the latitude and longitude. The National Weather Service Station tables contain 30 data elements which were compiled from two different sources, the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary (ISMCS) and NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The following 14 elements are from the ISMCS: maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, predominant sky cover, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust. The remaining 16 elements come from the TD-3220 data tapes. The period of record (POR) for data from the TD-3220 data tapes is 1970-1999. The POR for ISMCS data varies from station to station. Weather Elements (National Weather Service and Cooperative Stations) The following elements were compiled by the editor from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes using a period of record of 1970-1999. The average temperatures (maximum, minimum, and mean) are the average (see Methodology below) of those temperatures for all available values for a given month. For example, for a given station the average maximum temperature for July is the arithmetic average of all available maximum July temperatures for that station. (Maximum means the highest recorded temperature, minimum means the lowest recorded temperature, and mean means an arithmetic average temperature.) The extreme maximum temperature is the highest temperature recorded in each month over the period 1970-1999. The extreme minimum temperature is the lowest temperature recorded in each month over the same time period. The days for maximum temperature and minimum temperature are the average number of days those criteria were met for all available instances. The symbol >= means greater than or equal to, the symbol <= means less than or equal to. For example, for a given station, the number of days the maximum temperature was greater than or equal to 90°F in July, is just an arithmetic average of the number of days in all the available Julys for that station. Heating and cooling degree days are based on the median temperature for a given day and its variance from 65°F. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 50°F and the day’s low temperature was 30°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 40°F. 40°F is 25 degrees below 65°F, hence on this day there would be 25 heating degree days. The also applies for cooling degree days. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 80°F and the day’s low temperature was 70°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 75°F. 75°F is 10 degrees above 65°F, hence on this day there would be 10 cooling degree days. All heating and/or cooling degree days in a month are summed for the month giving respective totals for each element for that month. These sums for a given month for a given station over the past thirty years are again summed and then arithmetically averaged. It should be noted that the heating and cooling degree days do not cancel each other out. It is possible to have both for a given station in the same month. Precipitation data is computed the same as heating and cooling degree days. Mean precipitation and mean snowfall are arithmetic averages of cumulative totals for the month. All available values for the thirty year period for a given month for a given station are summed and then divided by the number of values. The same is true for days of greater than or equal to 0.1" and 1.0" of precipitation, and days of greater than or equal to 1.0" of snow depth on the ground. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure. Finally, remember that all values presented in the tables and the rankings are averages of available data (see Methodology below) for that specific data element for the last thirty years (1970-1999). Weather Elements (National Weather Service Stations Only) The following elements were taken directly from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary. The periods of records vary per station. Maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, prevailing wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust are all self-explanatory. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure.

Predominant sky cover contains four possible entries: CLR (clear); SCT (scattered); BRK (broken); and OVR (overcast). How Cooperative Stations Were Selected The basic criteria is that a station must have data for temperature, precipitation, heating and cooling degree days of sufficient quantity in order to create a meaningful average. More specifically, the definition of sufficiency here has two parts. First, there must be 22 values for a given data element (with the exception of cooling degree days which required only 14 values in order to be considered sufficient- more about this later), and second, eight of the sixteen elements included in the table must pass this sufficiency test. For example, in regard to average maximum temperature (the first element on every data table), a given station needs to have a value for every month of at least 22 of the last thirty years in order to meet the criteria, and, in addition, every station included must have at least eight of the sixteen elements at least this minimal level of completeness in order to fulfill the criteria. By using this procedure, 3,933 stations met these requirements and are included here. Methodology The following discussion applies only to data compiled from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The weather chapter is based on an arithmetic average of all available data for a specific data element at a given station. For example, the average maximum daily high temperature during July for Detroit, Michigan was abstracted from NCDC source tapes for the thirty Julys, starting in July, 1970 and ending in July, 1999. These thirty figures were then summed and divided by thirty to produce an arithmetic average. As might be expected, there were not thirty values for every data element on every table. For a variety of reasons, NCDC data is sometimes incomplete. Thus the following standards were established. For those data elements where there were 26-30 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 22-25 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was less than 26 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 22 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. This procedure was followed for 15 of the 16 data elements. The one exception is cooling degree days. The collection of this data began in 1980 so the following standards were adopted: for those data elements where there were 17-20 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 14-16 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was 14-16 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 14 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. Thus the basic computational methodology of the weather chapter is to provide an arithmetic average. Because of this, such a pure arithmetic average is somewhat different from the special type of average (called a “normal”) which NCDC procedures produces and appears in federal publications. Perhaps the best outline of the contrasting normalization methodology is found in the following paragraph (which appears as part of an NCDC technical document titled, CLIM81 1961-1990 NORMALS TD-9641 prepared by Lewis France of NCDC in May, 1992): Normals have been defined as the arithmetic mean of a climatological element computed over a long time period. International agreements eventually led to the decision that the appropriate time period would be three consecutive decades (Guttman, 1989). The data record should be consistent (have no changes in location, instruments, observation practices, etc.; these are identified here as “exposure changes”) and have no missing values so a normal will reflect the actual average climatic conditions. If any significant exposure changes have occurred, the data record is said to be “inhomogeneous,” and the normal may not reflect a true climatic average. Such data need to be adjusted to remove the nonclimatic inhomogeneities. The resulting (adjusted) record is then said to be “homogeneous.” If no exposure changes have occurred at a station, the normal is calculated simply by averaging the appropriate 30 values from the 1961-1990 record. In the main, there are two “inhomogeneities” that NCDC is correcting for with normalization: adjusting for variances in time of day of observation (at the so-called First Order stations data is based on midnight to midnight observation

times and this practice is not necessarily followed at cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers), and second, estimating data that is either missing or incongruent. A long discussion of the normalization process is not required here but a short note concerning comparative results of the two methodologies is appropriate. When the editors first started compiling the weather chapter a concern arose because the normalization process would not be replicated: would our methodology produce strikingly different results than NCDC’s? To allay concerns, results of the two processes were compared for the time period normalized results are available (1961-1990). In short, what was found was that the answer to this question is no. Never-the-less, users should be aware that because of both the time period covered (1970-1999) and the methodology used, data in the weather chapter is not compatible with data from other sources.

History: Several small communities sprang up in the 1830’s near the mouth of the Saginaw River on Lake Huron. The Tromble brothers, Joseph and Mader, built the first permanent frame house in 1836. The villages took the names of Lower Saginaw, Portsmouth, Wenona, Salzburg, and Banks. This was lumber country, and by 1872 there were 36 sawmills operating in the area, regulating the life of the towns. In the 1860’s, Lower Saginaw had annexed several of the nearby settlements and changed its name to Bay City, to distinguish it from the earlier established Saginaw upstream. The villages on the west bank merged as West Bay City. In 1903, Bay City and West Bay City were consolidated as Bay City. When the lumber industry declined in the early 1900’s, Bay City turned to soft-coal mining, commercial fishing, and beet sugar.

History: Benton Harbor was founded slightly after its neighboring city, St. Joseph, by settlers who preferred the less expensive, marshier land on the other side of the river. The fruit orchards that surrounded the early town were said to be started by Johnny Appleseed, but many pioneers brought young fruit trees with them from New York that contributed to southwestern Michigan’s fruit industry.

History: St. Joseph was preceded by the town of Newburyport, founded in 1831 at the mouth of the St. Joseph River.

incorporated as a village in 1836. The town grew slowly, some of the settlers choosing to locate across the river where they established the town that became Benton Harbor. Rivalry between the two towns was bitter until around 1900. Later the two became so homogeneous that only residents knew exactly where the boundary lines were.

History: Battle Creek was called Milton when it was first settled in 1831 by Samuel Guernsey of New York. When the post office was established in 1833, the community was renamed for the nearby creek, where a small battle between some individuals had taken place in 1825. Battle Creek’s character was shaped in 1855 when Captain Joseph Bates moved the headquarters of the Seventh Day Adventist Church here. The church’s emphasis on health reforms led to the founding of the Western Health Reform Institute, renamed the Battle Creek Sanitarium when Dr. John Harvey Kellogg took charge of it in 1876. Among other medical innovations, Kellogg perfected methods and machines for processing foods which resulted in new cereal and nut-food products. C.W. Post, who benefited from treatment at the sanitarium in 1891, established La Vita Inn in Battle Creek and began to serve a warm cereal drink, marketed as Postum. Later, the Kellogg and Post cereal factories were major employers in Battle Creek.

History: When Lansing was chosen as the state capital in 1847, it had only one log house and a sawmill. The few families here had come from Lansing, New York, and named their settlement after their former home, which had been named for Chancellor John Lansing of New York. Though its choice as capital seemed a joke, the community arose to the honor and erected a capitol building the same year. Lansing was incorporated as a city in 1859. Industrial development came after 1871, when the railroads connected the city with the rest of the state. Ransom E. Olds, automobile
pioneer, brought Lansing into the auto manufacturing scene in the early 1900’s.

KALAMAZOO (city). Covers a land area of 24.683 square miles and a water area of 0.499 square miles. Located at 42.27° N. Lat.; 85.58° W. Long. Elevation is 753 feet. History: The name first applied to the river was Kee-Kalamazoo, meaning “where the water boils in the pot,” in reference to the bubbling springs in the river. A trading post was established here in 1823, followed in 1847 by a group of Hollanders seeking religious freedom. Kalamazoo was the birthplace of celery, whose seeds were introduced about 1850 by Scotsman James Taylor. Cultivation was begun by Marinus DeBruin, and by 1870 much swampland had been converted into celery farms. Other industries that began before the turn of the century were the Kalamazoo Paper Company, forerunner of a group that made the city a paper-mill center, and Dr. William E. Upjohn’s pill company, which developed into the pharmaceutical industry.

History: A Baptist mission in 1826 and a fur trading post in 1827 were the beginnings of Grand Rapids, named for the rapids on the Grand River. Louis Campau, who had built the trading post, laid out the town in 1831, besting Lucius Lyon’s attempts in a similar endeavor.

History: The island, first called Michilimackinac (“the great turtle”), stands in the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, and attracts many tourists. The British transferred their garrison from the mainland to Mackinac Island in 1781, and refused to evacuate the post when the island was ceded to America by the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The island changed hands several times until coming under permanent American rule in 1814, and John Jacob Astor soon centered the activities of the American Fur Company at Mackinac Island. When fur trading declined after 1830, Mackinac Island was promoted as a resort center and a place for summer estates, especially after ferry service was begun in 1881.

SAINT IGNACE (city). Covers a land area of 2.703 square miles and a water area of 0.009 square miles. Located at 45.86° N. Lat.; 84.72° W. Long. Elevation is 595 feet. History: The town of St. Ignace had its beginning when Father Jacques Marquette built a mission here in 1671. In 1706, seeing that he had few parishioners, the last priest burned the chapel as he left. When the Jesuits came again in 1834, they found that fishermen had settled here. It was the establishment of railroad ferry service across the Mackinac Straits that brought about the founding of an iron smelting furnace, the rise of the lumber industry, and the settlement of a town. St. Ignace was incorporated as a village in 1882, and as a city in 1883. The iron smelter and the lumber industry soon declined, but St. Ignace developed as an entry to the Upper Peninsula and as a commercial fishing center.

History: In 1830 iron ore was discovered on the south shore of Lake Superior, and in 1846 the Jackson mine was opened about 14 miles inland from the site of Marquette. A shipping point was needed for the ore, and the site selected was the natural harbor at the mouth of the Carp River. The community that grew up here was first called Worcester, for the Massachusetts home of an early resident. In 1850 the town was renamed for the Jesuit missionary Marquette, whose explorations had helped to open the Northwest Territory. Marquette was incorporated as a village in 1859, and as a city in 1871.

NEGAUNEE (city). Covers a land area of 13.778 square miles and a water area of 0.887 square miles. Located at 46.50° N. Lat.; 87.60° W. Long. Elevation is 1,375 feet. History: Iron ore was discovered in 1844 in the Marquette Range by a surveying party. Development of the community of Negaunee was slow, because of the difficulty of transporting the ore via forest trails to the dock at Marquette, and then unloading it to be carried around the rapids at Sault Ste. Marie. By 1855 a plank road had been completed, and the first locks at Sault Ste. Marie made shipping easier. The railroad connection between Negaunee and Marquette in 1857 brought more growth, and Negaunee was platted in 1865.

MONROE (city). Covers a land area of 9.044 square miles and a water area of 1.019 square miles. Located at 41.91° N. Lat.; 83.39° W. Long. Elevation is 593 feet. History: First called Frenchtown because of its French settlers, the city was renamed Monroe when a visit from President Monroe was expected. Its location on the River Raisin, a few miles from Lake Erie, placed Monroe in an area where the border was in question. The so-called “Toledo War” dispute between Michigan and Ohio centered in Monroe in 1835, ending with Michigan giving up to Ohio the area to the south that included Toledo, and getting in exchange the Upper Peninsula. An early industry in Monroe was glass making, using local siliceous sand and sandstone. Nurseries and paper plants added to the early economic base. A prominent resident of Monroe was General George A. Custer.

In the 1880’s, the town had 47 sawmills, earning for it the reputation of Lumber Queen as well as Saloon Queen and Gambling Queen. With the decline of lumbering in the 1890’s, Muskegon began to utilize its port for other shipping and more diversified industry.

A permanent colony was founded in 1790, when Frenchman Anselm Petit settled near the mouth of the Black River. In 1814, Fort Gratiot was built on the site of old Fort St. Joseph. It was in 1826, when the Fort Gratiot Turnpike was constructed from Detroit, that the four villages of Peru, Desmond, Huron, and Gratiot, sprang up. They united in 1837 to form the village of Port Huron. Incorporated as a village in 1849 and chartered as a city in 1857, Port Huron became the seat of St. Clair County in 1871. Its location on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River made Port Huron an important port, with access to the Canadian city across the river.

One version of the naming of the town says that they built an arbor with wild grapevines growing over it, and named the settlement Anns’ Arbor for the two wives. Another story attributes the name to a woman named Ann d’Arbeur, who was a wilderness guide in this area in the early 1800’s. Allen set up a gristmill when he arrived, and soon other settlers and other mills, a tannery, and a general store followed. In 1837 the young town was successful in its bid to have the University of Michigan moved here from Detroit. One of the early industries in Ann Arbor was the making of watches, followed by the making of organs and pianos. Later industries produced baling machinery, steel balls, radios, and cameras.

History: Among the first to settle in Dearborn were A.J. Bucklin and the Thomas brothers from Ohio, whose homesteads later became part of the Ford estate. Pekin Township, established when many settlers came after the War of 1812, later became Dearborn, renamed to honor General Henry Dearborn (1751-1829), secretary of war under President Andrew Jackson. Dearborn later encompassed Greenfield and Springwells Townships as well. A local legend claims that Michigan’s nickname of the Wolverine State originated at Conrad “Old Coon” Ten Eyck’s Tavern in Dearborn, where visitors were told they had been served wolf steaks and were then wolverines. Henry Ford was born in Dearborn in 1863. When he founded a plant to build small iron ships here on the River Rouge in 1917, his Ford Motor Company had already made him wealthy. Soon the entire plant was moved from Highland Park, and the City of Springwells was incorporated. Its name was changed to Fordson in 1925, and in 1928 Fordson and Dearborn were united as one municipality.

French for “the strait.” Growth in Detroit was slowed by political dissension and reports of the swampy and sandy soil, which discouraged settlers until after the Erie Canal was completed.

HAMTRAMCK (city). Covers a land area of 2.108 square miles and a water area of 0 square miles. Located at 42.39° N. Lat.; 83.05° W. Long. Elevation is 627 feet. History: Hamtramck Township was named for Colonel John Francis Hamtramck, a German-French Canadian who became General Anthony Wayne’s strategist after the Revolutionary War, and the first military commander of Detroit. In 1901 Hamtramck was organized as a village settled by German-American farmers. The Dodge Brothers Company established an automobile plant here in 1910, which attracted the Polish migration to Hamtramck. It was incorporated as a city in 1922. Though surrounded by Detroit, Hamtramck has maintained its city status, partly because the large number of Polish residents relished political autonomy.

HIGHLAND PARK (city). Covers a land area of 2.978 square miles and a water area of 0 square miles. Located at 42.40° N. Lat.; 83.10° W. Long. Elevation is 636 feet. History: Named for the ridge, or high land, on which the town was built. About a hundred years before Henry Ford brought prosperity to Highland Park with his Ford Motor Company plant in 1909, another Ford, Richard (not related to Henry) had settled here. He built his farm on the ridge, since
leveled, that was the “highland” for which the town was named. Several attempts at creating a town failed, until 1887 when Captain William H. Stevens, who had made a fortune in the Colorado silver mines, attracted investors in a promotional scheme. The village of Highland Park was organized in 1889, and in 1918 it was incorporated as a city. When Ford moved his plant to Dearborn in 1920, Highland Park’s population declined, but later grew as it became a residential suburb for Detroit.

Michigan was 238. This was not significantly different from¹ their average score in 2003 (236), and was higher than their average score in 1992 (220). Michigan's average score (238) in 2005 was not significantly different from that of the Nation's public schools (237). Of the 52 states and other jurisdictions² that participated in the 2005 fourth-grade assessment, students' average scale scores in Michigan were higher than those in 16 jurisdictions, not significantly different from those in 20 jurisdictions, and lower than those in 15 jurisdictions. The percentage of students in Michigan who performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level was 38 percent in 2005. This percentage was not significantly different from that in 2003 (34 percent), and was greater than that in 1992 (18 percent). The percentage of students in Michigan who performed at or above the NAEP Basic level was 79 percent in 2005.

In 2005, Black students had an average score that was lower than that of White students by 35 points. In 1992, the average score for Black students was lower than that of White students by 42 points. Data are not reported for Hispanic students in 2005, because reporting standards were not met. Therefore, the performance gap data are not reported. In 2005, students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch, an indicator of poverty, had an average score that was lower than that of students who were not eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch by 23 points. In 1996, the average score for students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch was lower than the score of those not eligible by 24 points. In 2005, the score gap between students at the 75th percentile and students at the 25th percentile was 39 points. In 1992, the score gap between students at the 75th percentile and students at the 25th percentile was 43 points.

¹ Comparisons (higher/lower/not different) are based on statistical tests. The .05 level was used for testing statistical significance. Comparisons across jurisdictions and comparisons with the nation or within a jurisdiction across years may be affected by differences in exclusion rates for students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL). The exclusion rates for SD and ELL in Michigan were 4 percent and percentage rounds to zero in 2005, respectively. Statistical comparisons are calculated on the basis of unrounded scale scores or percentages. ² "Jurisdiction" refers to states and the Department of Defense Education Activity schools. NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because the "Information not available" category for free/reduced-price school lunch and the "Unclassifed" category for race/ethnicity are not displayed.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: State Summary
MICHIGAN PHYSICAL FEATURES. Michigan is located in the heart of the Great Lakes region and is composed of two large peninsulas. Many smaller peninsulas jut from these two peninsulas into the world’s largest bodies of fresh water to give most of Michigan a quasi-marine type climate in spite of its midcontinent location. The Upper Peninsula is long and narrow, lying primarily between 45° and 47° N. latitude. It averages only 75 miles in width and extends from Northern Wisconsin eastward over 300 miles into Northern Lake Huron. Lake Superior lies to the north while the northern portion of Lake Michigan forms the boundary to the southeast. Isle Royale, separated from the mainland, is located in Lake Superior about 50 miles northwest of the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The Lower Peninsula, shaped like a mitten and occupying about 70 percent of Michigan’s total land area, extends northward nearly 300 miles from the Indiana and Ohio border or about 42° N. latitude to the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula. Lake Michigan extends the entire length of the Lower Peninsula on the west while Lakes Huron, St. Clair and Erie form the eastern boundary. The total coastline for the state exceeds 3,100 miles. In addition, Michigan has over 11,000 smaller lakes with a total surface area of over 1,000 square miles. These lakes are scattered throughout 81 of the 83 counties while more than 36,000 miles of streams wind their way across the state. While latitude, by determining the amount of solar insolation, is the major climatic control, the Great Lakes and variations in elevation play an important role in the amelioration of Michigan’s climate. Because of its mid-latitude location, prevailing winds are from a westerly direction. During the summer months winds are predominantly from the southwest when the semi-permanent Bermuda High Pressure Center is located over the southeastern United States. During the winter months the prevailing winds are west to northwest, but change quite frequently for short periods as migrating cyclones and anticyclones move through the area. The eastern half of the Upper Peninsula varies from level to gently rolling hills with elevation generally between 600 and 1,000 feet above sea level. The western tablelands rise to elevations generally between 1,400 and 1,600 feet with Porcupine Mountain, the State’s highest point, 2,023 feet, located in Ontonagan County overlooking Lake Superior. The rugged hills extend northeastward from Ontonagan County through the center of the Keweenaw Peninsula and play an important role in the larger precipitation amounts received in this area. The Lower Peninsula features range from quite level terrain in the southeast to gently rolling hills in the southwest with elevations generally between 800 and 1,000 feet. A series of sand dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline rise to heights of nearly 400 feet above the lake level. These are the result of the prevailing westerly winds which blow across the lake. Tablelands cover the northern part of the Lower Peninsula and reach a maximum elevation of 1,700 feet in Osecola County near Cadillac. In the northwestern section of the Lower Peninsula a number of finger-like peninsulas extend into Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan. GENERAL CLIMATE. The lake effect imparts many interesting departures to Michigan’s climate which one would not ordinarily expect to find at a midcontinental location. Because of the lake waters’ slow response to temperature changes and the dominating westerly winds, the arrival of both summer and winter are retarded. In the spring, the cooler temperatures slow the development of vegetation until the danger of frost is past. In the fall, the warmer lake waters temper the first outbreaks of cold air allowing additional time for crops to mature. With the first cold air outbreaks in the fall, Michigan experiences a considerable increase in cloudiness. When cold air passes over the warmer lake water, a shallow layer of unstable, moisture-laden air develops in the lower levels of the atmosphere. This air, when forced to rise, produces the increased cloudiness and frequent snow flurry activity observed in the fall and early winter months. On warm, summer days when prevailing winds are generally light, the lake’s shore area frequently develops a localized wind pattern which may extend inland for only a few miles. This is frequently referred to as the “lake breeze.” It develops when the much warmer air over the land masses begins to rise, allowing the cooler air over the lakes to move inland. At night this pattern may be reversed creating what is known as a “land breeze”. A wind of this type may also be observed, but on a much smaller scale, along the shores of the larger inland lakes.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: State Summary
The length of Michigan’s growing season or freeze-free period does not decrease in the normal manner from south to north. Instead, isolines for the length of the growing season follow closely the contours of the lake shores. The shortest average growing season, about 60 days, occurs in the interior section of the Western Upper Peninsula. The growing season increases to between 140 and 160 days, as one goes towards the lake shores. A similar pattern exists in the Lower Peninsula where the growing season in the northern tablelands averages only 70 days, but increases rapidly to 140 days near the lakes. Michigan’s maximum average growing season, 170 days, is found in the southwest and southeastern corners of the state. PRECIPITATION. Michigan averages about 31 inches of precipitation per year. About 55-60 percent of the annual total is recorded during the normal growing season. Summer precipitation falls primarily in the form of showers or thunderstorms, while a more steady type of precipitation of lighter intensity dominates the winter months. The annual number of thunderstorms observed decreases from about 40 in the south to around 25 in the Upper Peninsula area with nearly 50 percent of these recorded during the summer months, June through August. The frequency of floods is quite low in Michigan with the greatest likelihood occurring in late winter or early spring when sudden warming and rain may be combined with snowmelt. Mild meteorological drought conditions are not uncommon in Michigan, but meteorological droughts reaching severe conditions are infrequent and generally of short duration. The normally even distribution of precipitation and higher humidities observed in Michigan are helpful in reducing the high demands for moisture. SNOWFALL. Michigan receives some of the heaviest snowfall totals east of the Rockies except for isolated points in the New England States. The maximum average annual snowfall amounts of over 170 inches are located along the escarpment which rises abruptly to an elevation of over 1,400 feet above Lake Superior, at the western end of the Upper Peninsula. Another area with amounts exceeding 120 inches is centered in the western section of the tableland region of the Lower Peninsula. The prevailing westerlies, passing over the Great Lakes, become moisture laden in the lower levels and when forced upward by the land masses, drop much of their excessive moisture in the form of snow squalls in these areas. STORMS. Damaging or dangerous storms do not occur as frequently in Michigan as in the states to the south and west. Recorded tornado occurrences have averaged four per year. About 90 percent of these tornadoes occurred in the southern one-half of the Lower Peninsula. Damaging wind storms and blizzards are not as frequent but do cause considerable damage from time to time. Hail is most frequently observed in the spring months. A higher frequency of hail is noted in the fall months over the northwestern section of the Lower Peninsula. This is attributed mainly to the strong lake influence in this region.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Alpena Phelps Collins Airport The city of Alpena lies on the northwest shore of Thunder Bay, eight miles from the open waters of Lake Huron. Lake Huron and Thunder Bay lie at an elevation of 580 feet above sea level. Generally, the land slopes up westward from the lakeshore to 689 feet at the airport. Farther to the west and southwest the land becomes higher and more rolling. A range of hills with tops 1,000 to 1,350 feet lies northwest to southeast about 25 miles southwest of the station. Summer showers moving from the southwest weaken and sometimes dissipate as they approach Alpena. Winter storms often bring winds with an easterly component. Precipitation from these is increased by moisture and instability picked up from Lake Huron and by forced upslope flow. The normal wintertime storm track is south of the city, and most passing storms bring snow. Rain, freezing rain, and sleet are uncommon, but not unknown, in winter. In summer, most storms pass to the north, often bringing brief showers to the area, but occasionally, heavy thunderstorms with damaging winds occur. The Great Lakes modify most climatic extremes. Precipitation amounts are distributed evenly throughout the year. The lake effect is most pronounced in early winter, before ice forms. Minimum temperatures during this season are higher than would be expected at this latitude. Summers in Alpena are warm and sunny. Brief showers usually occur every few days, often falling on only part of the area. Hailstorms average less than one a year. During prolonged heat waves the highest temperatures in Michigan often occur in the forest area southwest of Alpena. Winter months are cloudy and marked by frequent snow flurries. Storms bring heavier snowfall. Snow cover is sufficiently deep and persistent to provide good protection for grasses and winter grains. The climate along the immediate Lake Huron shore is semi-maritime and lacks the temperature extremes experienced just a few miles inland. Maximum temperatures near the lake shore average 1.6 degrees lower than those at the airport, minimum temperatures average five degrees higher. Afternoon lake breezes which are strongest in the late spring and early summer cause lake shore maximum temperatures to average 3.6 degrees lower during the month of May. Freezing temperatures have occurred as late as late June and as early as late August. Principal crops in the area are hay, potatoes, berries, and apples. Prevailing winds are from the northwest except during May and June when southeast winds predominate. Southeast winds are common in the afternoon during all the summer months.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Detroit Metropolitan Airport Detroit and the immediate suburbs, including nearby urban areas in Canada, occupy an area approximately 25 miles in radius. The waterway, consisting of the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, Lake St. Clair, and the west end of Lake Erie, lies at an elevation of 568 to 580 feet above sea level. Nearly flat land slopes up gently from the waters edge northwestward for about 10 miles and then gives way to increasingly rolling terrain. The Irish Hills, parallel to and about 40 miles northwest of the waterway, have tops 1,000 to 1,250 feet above sea level. On the Canadian side of the waterway the land is relatively level. Northwest winds in winter bring snow flurry accumulations to all of Michigan except in the Detroit Metropolitan area while summer showers moving from the northwest weaken and sometimes dissipate as they approach Detroit. On the other hand, much of the heaviest precipitation in winter comes from southeast winds, especially to the northwest suburbs of the city. The climate of Detroit is influenced by its location with respect to major storm tracks and the influence of the Great Lakes. The normal wintertime storm track is south of the city, which brings on the average, about three inch snowfalls. Winter storms can bring combinations of rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet with heavy snowfall accumulations possible at times. In summer, most storms pass to the north allowing for intervals of warm, humid, sunny skies with occasional thunderstorms followed by days of mild, dry, and fair weather. Temperatures of 90 degrees or higher are reached during each summer. Local climatic variations are due largely to the immediate effect of Lake St. Clair and the urban heat island. On warm days in late spring or early summer, lake breezes often lower temperatures by 10 to 15 degrees in the eastern part of the city and the northeastern suburbs. The urban heat island effect shows up mainly at night where minimum temperatures at the Metropolitan Airport average four degrees lower than downtown Detroit. On humid summer nights or on very cold winter nights, this difference can exceed 10 degrees. The growing season averages 180 days and has ranged from 145 days to 205 days. On average, the last freezing temperature occurs in late April while the average first freezing temperature occurs in late October. A freeze has occurred as late as mid-May and as early as late September.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Flint Bishop Airport Flint, Michigan, is located in the Flint River Valley, in the center of Genesee County. Lake Huron lies approximately 65 miles to the east, while Saginaw Bay is about 40 miles to the north. The surrounding terrain is generally level with a slight rising tendency to a range of hills 15 to 20 miles southeast of the city. Flint is generally under the climatic influence of the Great Lakes. Temperatures of 100 degrees or higher are rare and cold waves are less severe then expected. During the winter months, snow showers occur with strong northwesterly winds, and Lake Michigan, lying 120 miles to the west, causes a tempering effect upon cold waves coming from the northwest. The lake effect also results in delaying the coming of spring and prolonging warmer weather in late autumn. This results in conditions favorable for orchards and small fruit. Precipitation is usually ample for growth and development of vegetation. The wettest periods normally occur in the late spring, early summer, and early fall. The driest period is normally during the winter, and although there is an occasional heavy snowfall, most of the snow occurs in the form of frequent light flurries. Winter months are marked by considerable cloudiness and rather high relative humidity, while during the summer relative humidity is usually not excessive and sunshine is plentiful. Violent windstorms associated with thunderstorms and squall lines occasionally hit this area. Tornadoes are infrequent but have caused extensive property damage and loss of life. Weather changes are frequent throughout the year, since a majority of atmospheric disturbances moving eastward across the country pass near enough to affect the weather in Flint.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Grand Rapids Int’l Airport Grand Rapids, Michigan, is located in the west-central part of Kent County, in the picturesque Grand River valley about 30 air miles east of Lake Michigan. The Grand River, the longest stream in Michigan, flows through the city and bisects it into east and west sections. High hills rise on either side of the valley. Elevations range from 602 feet on the valley floor to 1,020 feet in the extreme southern part of Kent County, southwest of the airport. Grand Rapids is under the natural climatic influence of Lake Michigan. In spring the cooling effect of Lake Michigan helps retard the growth of vegetation until the danger of frost has passed. The warming effect in the fall retards frost until most of the crops have matured. Fall is a colorful time of year in western Michigan, compensating for the late spring. During the winter, excessive cloudiness and numerous snow flurries occur with strong westerly winds. The tempering effect of Lake Michigan on cold waves coming in from the west and northwest is quite evident. The tempering effect of the lake promotes the growth of a great variety of fruit trees and berries, especially apples, peaches, cherries, and blueberries. The intense cold of winter is modified, thus reducing winter kill of fruit trees. Summer days are pleasantly warm and most summer nights are quite comfortable, although there are about three weeks of hot, humid weather during most summers. Prolonged severe cold waves with below-zero temperatures are infrequent. The temperature usually rises to above zero during the daytime hours regardless of early morning readings. July is the sunniest month and December is the month with the least sunshine. November through January is usually a period of excessive cloudiness and minimal sunshine. Precipitation is usually ample for the growth and development of all vegetation. About one-half of the annual precipitation falls during the growing season, May through September. Droughts occur occasionally, but are seldom of protracted length. The snowfall season extends from mid-November to mid-March. Some winters have had continuous snow cover throughout this period, although there is usually a mid-winter thaw. The Grand River flows through the city and reaches critical heights a couple of times each year. Overflow is generally limited to the lowlands of the flood plain. November is one of the windiest months and although violent windstorms are infrequent, gusts have on occasion exceeded 65 mph. Summer thunderstorms occasionally produce gusty winds over 60 mph.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Houghton Lake Airport Houghton Lake is located in north-central lower Michigan. The present station is on the northeast shore of Houghton Lake, the largest inland lake in Michigan, with a circumference of about 32 miles. The Muskegon River source is Higgins Lake, eight miles to the north. It flows through Houghton Lake, then southwestward to Lake Michigan. The station lies within an elongated bowl shaped 1,000-foot plateau, which extends roughly 50 miles north, 75 miles southwest, and about 20 miles southeast of Houghton Lake. In the immediate area, the land is level to rolling, but there are hills and ridges from 100 to 300 feet higher in elevation surrounding the station. Soils are generally sand, or sandy loam supporting little agricultural production, but the area is rich in natural resources of forests, lakes, and streams. The interior location diminishes the influence of the larger Great Lakes, which lie 70 to 80 miles east and west of Houghton Lake. Hence, the daily temperature range is larger, especially in summer, and temperature extremes are greater than are found nearer the shores of either Lake Michigan or Lake Huron. Temperatures reach the 100 degree mark about one summer out of ten, and at the other extreme, fall below zero an average of 22 times during the winter season. Precipitation is normally a little heavier during the summer season. About 60 percent of the annual total falls in the six-month period from April through September. The heaviest precipitation occurs with summertime thunderstorms. Snowfall averages above 80 inches per year at Houghton Lake, with considerable variation from year to year. Much heavier snows, averaging over 100 inches a season, fall within a 30- to 60-mile radius to the north and west of Houghton Lake. Seasonal totals have ranged from 24 inches to over 124 inches. Measurable amounts of snow have occurred in nine of the 12 months, and the average number of months with measurable snowfall is six. Cloudiness is greatest in the late fall and early winter, while sunshine percentage is highest in the spring and summer. Cloudiness is increased in the late fall due to the moisture and warmth picked up by the westerly and northwesterly winds while crossing Lake Michigan. The growing season is normally quite short, averaging about 90 days between spring and fall freezes.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Lansing Capital City Airport The climate at Lansing alternates between continental and semi-marine, depending on meteorological conditions. The marine type is due to the influence of the Great Lakes and is governed by the force and direction of the wind. When there is little or no wind, the weather becomes continental in character, which means pronounced fluctuation in temperature, hot weather in summer and severe cold in winter. On the other hand, a strong wind from the Lakes may immediately transform the weather into a semi-marine type. Since large bodies of water are less responsive to temperature changes, the Great Lakes hold the winter cold longer in the spring and the summer heat longer in the fall than do the land areas. This fact is illustrated by looking at some monthly mean temperatures at Lansing as compared to similar latitudes west of the Lakes. Such a comparison shows cooler summers and milder winters in Lansing because of the lake effect. Based on the 1951-1980 period, the average first occurrence of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the fall is September 30 and the average last occurrence in the spring is May 13. Precipitation is fairly well distributed through the year, and no conspicuous annual variation is noted, although there is about one inch less per month in winter than in summer. The heavier amounts in summer occur in thunderstorms. The wettest months are May and June. Snowfall for Lansing is moderate, averaging about 52 inches per year. There are almost twice as many cloudy days as clear days throughout the year. Much cloudiness prevails during the winter season, but sunshine is abundant during the summer months. Similarly, relative humidity remains rather high during the winter, but is only moderate in summer. Tornadoes sometimes occur in this area, but their frequency is less than in states farther to the south and west. Destructive thunder and wind storms are not uncommon. Flooding of streams and rivers in the upper grand Basin occurs in about one year out of three, with floods causing considerable damage in about one year out of ten.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Marquette County Airport The Marquette County Airport lies about 7.5 miles southwest of the nearest shoreline of Lake Superior and about eight miles west of the city of Marquette. Lake Superior is the largest body of fresh water in the world and the deepest and coldest of the Great Lakes. An irregular northwest-southeast ridge line lies just to the east of the airport. There are several water storage basins in the vicinity of the station. One basin, about 20 miles long, is three miles northwest and another, about eight miles in diameter, is three miles west. The climate is influenced considerably by the proximity of Lake Superior. As a consequence of the cool expanse of water in the summer, there is rarely a long period of sweltering hot weather. Periods of drought are extremely rare. In the winter, cold outbreaks are tempered considerably by the waters of Lake Superior if the lake is unfrozen. However, winds blowing across these relatively warmer waters pick up moisture and cause cloudy weather throughout the winter, as well as frequent periods of light snow. Lake-formed snow showers and snow squalls are intensified near the station by upslope winds, especially from the northwest through northeast. With a northeast through east wind, especially in autumn, the upslope condition will cause light snow at the airport, while along the lakeshore, only drizzle or no precipitation may occur. The growing season averages 117 days. Precipitation is rather evenly distributed throughout the year, with an average precipitation of four inches or more in June and September and less than two inch averages only in January and February. One hundred inches or more of snow occur in nine of ten winter seasons.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Muskegon County Airport Muskegon is located on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan approximately 100 miles north of the southern tip of the lake. The terrain is generally level with several sand dunes along the shoreline. Much of the soil is sandy and vegetation grows well, as evidenced by the trees and grass which grow on the dunes. Many crops grow in the area. Asparagus and celery are the principal truck- garden vegetables. A variety of fruits is raised and blueberries lead as a principal product. The main industry in this area is manufacturing with emphasis on foundry and machined products. The area is also a resort center due to features such as extensive sandy beaches, both on Lake Michigan and inland lakes. Lake Michigan has a very decided effect upon the weather and climate of this area. The prevailing westerly winds tend to moderate the temperatures, resulting in warmer winters than further inland. In the summer the effect is just the opposite. The air temperature usually remains below the uncomfortable readings of the high 90s. Spring arrives about three to four weeks later than normal for this latitude. Autumn is also delayed, as is the cold of early winter. Precipitation is fairly moderate, but snowfall is moderate to heavy. The heaviest snows occur during late December, January, and February. Precipitation is also influenced by the lake, especially during the winter. Instability in snow showers along the lakeshore vary enormously in intensity, resulting in traces of snow to more than a foot in 24 hours. The heavier snow squalls tend to concentrate over small sections of the shoreline, depending on their intensity and the direction of the wind. With strong winds most snowshowers will fall further inland, sometimes as much as 30 to 40 miles. Snowfall is likely to occur every day for weeks at a time. The daily accumulation of lake effect snow varies greatly. However, due to low water content of most of the storms, the snow settles rapidly. Summertime thunderstorms have a tendency, as they move inland, to follow the Muskegon and Grand River Valleys. Thus, these areas are more often frequented by severe electrical storms which will pass without a drop of rain two to three miles from the immediate river valleys. Thunderstorms near the shoreline are most frequent at night. The afternoon convection-type storms seldom occur within five miles of the lake. Lake Michigan-spawned thunderstorms give shoreline areas a surprising number of occurrences. Based on the 1951-1980 period, the average first occurrence of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the fall is October 11 and the average last occurrence in the spring is May 8.

PROFILES OF MICHIGAN / Weather: National Weather Service Stations Sault Ste. Marie Sanderson Field Sault Ste. Marie is located at the extreme eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the intersection of Lake Superior, Michigan, and Huron. Consequently, the regional climate is essentially maritime during ice-free periods of the year. Lake ice development usually begins in December and progresses to maximum coverage in February. As ice cover develops, the character of the regional climate gradually changes to continental polar by the time of maximum lake ice development. Lake Superior, to the northwest, is the largest, deepest, and coldest of the Great Lakes and is the dominant climatic control for the area. Water in the northern Great Lakes remains relatively cool during the summer and seldom freezes over during the winter. Therefore, temperatures are moderated throughout most of the year, whereas cloudiness and precipitation are increased. Terrain on the Michigan side of the international border is nearly flat and lies 700 to 800 feet above sea level. Very little climatological influence is related to Michigan terrain. However, terrain on the Canadian side of the border rises rather abruptly to about 1,500 feet above sea level and this definite topographic influence increases the rain and snow shower activity over the Canadian hills. Heavy fog occurrences reach a maximum in August, September, and October and form in response to the passage of relatively cold air masses over the warmer waters of the northern Great Lakes. Destructive tornadoes and thunderstorms have occurred on rare occasions. Most summers pass without a temperature reaching 90 degrees. Winters are cold and snowy with total seasonal snowfall ranging from about 30 inches to more than 175 inches. November 21 is the average date for the appearance of the permanent winter snow cover which normally lasts until April 7. Annual percent of possible sunshine is low but is especially low during late fall and early winter because of cloud cover produced by lake moisture evaporated into the cold air. Sunshine amounts increase as ice development increases in the winter season. Daylight during most of June and July lasts almost 16 hours, whereas winter daylight reaches a minimum of less than 9 hours a day in late December. Based on the 1951-1980 period, the average first occurrence of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the fall is September 27 and the average last occurrence in the spring is May 26.
