What it’s like
The place. Felch is a small township in Dickinson County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where nearly every home is lived in by its owner. Household incomes run above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Dickinson County, some of the largest workplaces are Northern Star Industries, which makes prefabricated metal buildings, the Dickinson County Healthcare System and the Veterans Health Administration. The commute is a long one, and jobs across the county slipped slightly last year while unemployment held close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. The water is the main draw nearby. Lake Antoine is a lake a longer drive away, as is the Menominee River, one of the larger rivers in the area. Norway Speedway, a race track also a longer drive away, offers a different kind of outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Dickinson County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Dickinson County and the Iron Mountain, MI-WI metro.
