What it’s like
The place. Negaunee is a small city in Marquette County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with a population younger than many older homeowners might expect for a town its size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run higher than across the county as a whole, though a noticeable part of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers are mild and warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades and manufacturing also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Negaunee are Negaunee Public Schools, the State Police post and Fabick Cat. Commutes are short, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Teal Lake sits in or beside town, and Deer Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away. Cliffs Shaft Mine Museum, also a short drive away, speaks to the area's mining past, and Marquette Mountain, a ski area, suits the snowy winters. For a longer outing, Presque Isle Park 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 Negaunee’s census tracts, 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 Marquette County and the Marquette, MI metro.
