Michigan: Older Ladies and Younger Guys-Its not Tinder, Its the 2020 Census!

Michigan has a population of females with the age of 41.5 and men of an age 39.1. Michigan is seeking to court younger workers and attract them to their labor pool. In the U.P. our towns are often declining but the small towns here have greater benefit than what I have seen in other places (Tinder dating is limited though. 🙅). I have heard that Escanaba is growing and attracting significant investment.

Feel Free to explore the 2020 Census

These 2020 census results break down people's race and ethnicity into details

We also find that our national demographics are changing and with that will come changes in how we see and how we develop. Businesses will also change and I think small business will become more popular as a way to get ahead. 

So, these demographics make me think about how to adjust our approaches to support greater participation in society as well as avenues of encouraging people to redevelop their downtowns through small business. Escanaba right now has lots of downtown space and buildings you can buy for under 100K. I would suggest a local and tourist oriented downtown with some type of product that can be sold online and exported.

Come on guys....we need more population.....2 years older isn't that big of a gap! Update your profile pictures, wash the Carhart and buy some smell good stuff. You got this, go the distance! (FYI POF works better up here.)
