What it’s like
The place. Flushing is a small city in Genesee County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run well above the county's. Fewer residents live below the poverty line here than you might expect, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Some of the largest workplaces in Flushing are Flushing Community Schools, Kroger Michigan KMA and Majestic Care of Flushing. Unemployment across Genesee County is a little lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs in the county has edged up.
Things to do. In or beside town, Flushing Riverview Park offers a place to walk by the water, and Flushing Mutton Park is a garden close to home. A short drive away, the Flint Institute of Arts is a museum worth an afternoon, and Chevy Commons is a park on the Flint side of the county. For a longer outing, the Flint River is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Flushing’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Genesee County and the Flint, MI metro.
