What it’s like
The place. Gulliver is a small community in Schoolcraft County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Winters are long and cold, with more snow and colder weather than most of the country, while summers are mild and the year is fairly wet. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and many people have lived in the area for a long time.
Work. Across Schoolcraft County, the most common work is in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and building trades. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown a little. Few residents work from home, so most people travel to a workplace, and the usual trip is short.
Things to do. Seney National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a short drive away, is a good place for walks and watching wildlife. The Driggs River, also a short drive away, offers a quiet spot for time on the water. Indian Lake State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, is another option for a day outdoors.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Schoolcraft County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Schoolcraft County.
