elcome to the inaugural issue of Benchmarks Northwest. This publication highlights a plethora of data for each of the ten counties of northwest lower Michigan, and is intended to invite and inspire

conversation about our community. It may guide conversations and answers involving questions like: •

How are we doing as a community?

•

What does our community look like?

•

What do we do well?

•

How can we improve?

As you peruse the information provided, you may find confirmation about what you already know, you may be surprised by what is revealed, or you may find yourself somewhere in between. Either way, this is intended to be a jumping off point for community leaders and citizens alike to work from the same information when developing strategies, making decisions, and working through community development issues.

Benchmarks Northwest is not a comprehensive guide to all data available for each county or for the region as a whole. Community matters can be complicated, but we hope you find these data helpful in bringing a measure of solidarity to conversations that happen every day around northwest lower Michigan.
