The place. Grand Junction is a small town in Van Buren County, in southwestern Michigan. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year. Across Van Buren County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many residents have lived here for years.
Work. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has edged down slightly.

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 Van Buren County and the Holland, MI metro.
