What it’s like
The place. Marenisco is a very small community in Gogebic County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and a home here costs a good deal less than in much of the country. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and snowfall well beyond what most of the country sees. Summers are mild and warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Across Gogebic County, incomes run modest, and unemployment has stayed close to where it was a year ago, with slightly fewer jobs than the year before. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. The county's largest workplaces include Walmart, Aspirus Ironwood Hospital and Snowriver Mountain Resort, and a small share of residents work from home.
Things to do. The Presque Isle River runs in or beside town, and Lake Gogebic State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. For waterfalls, Bond Falls is a longer drive. Snow River Mountain Resort, a ski area, is also a longer drive, and the long snowy winters suit it well.

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