Population trends concerning | News, Sports, Jobs

Feb 27, 2021
We doubt very many Northeast Michiganders want to see our rusticly beautiful home turn into a bustling mini-metropolis.
We certainly don’t.
However, recent reporting by News staff writer Crystal Nelson shows Northeast Michigan moving in the wrong direction. For years, death rates here have exceeded birth rates, and too few people have moved into the area to make up for that natural population loss.
To a potential developer, fewer residents means fewer customers, and our long-term trends could cause that potential developer to look elsewhere for places to spend his or her money.
Now, we face a bit of a chicken-or-the-egg situation. Investment, which means jobs and a quality of life, could cause more people to stay here or move here, but we may need more people to stay here and move here before we get that investment.
