1997 RURAL DATABOOK

Rural Partners of Michigan initiated and secured partial funding for the publication of a new 150 page rural data book entitiled "Michigan: A Rural/Metro Comparison". The data book, co-produced by Michigan State University, identifies key economic and social issues facing rural Michigan communities that are quite different from their metro counterparts.

The book was designed in a user-friendly manner and provides easy access to many economic indicators as well as other parameters such as demographics, housing, natural resources, education and health care. Contact:
