The place. Newport is a small community in Monroe County, in the southeastern corner of Michigan, near the Lake Erie shore and the Ohio border. Across Monroe County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many residents are middle-aged or older. Household incomes vary, and a share of residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Across Monroe County, many people work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in professional and business services. Jobs in the county have been slipping in recent years, so some residents work across county lines. Many adults in the county do not hold a four-year degree.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Monroe County, 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 Monroe County and the Monroe, MI metro.
