What it’s like
The place. Filion is a small community in Huron County, Michigan, in the region known as the Thumb, where the land is flat and farmed and the shore of Lake Huron is not far off. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain through the year. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the county's roots run back to the nineteenth century settlers who cleared the land for farms.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, while others work in shops or in farming, forestry and mining. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown slightly. Relatively few people work from home, so most people travel to a workplace each day.
Things to do. Port Crescent State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is a good place for time outdoors. The Pinnebog River, also a short drive away, is a quiet river for those who enjoy the water. For a visit further afield, Sanilac Petroglyphs Historic State Park is an archaeological site a longer drive away, known for its ancient carvings in rock.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Huron 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 Huron County.
