What it’s like
The place. Presque Isle is a township on the northeast side of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, and its residents skew older than most of the country. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run well above the county's, with a smaller share of people living in poverty. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by banks, insurance and property, then farming, forestry and mining. Across Presque Isle County, the largest workplaces include Thunder Bay Community Health Service, with clinics in several towns, Presque Isle Electric & Gas Coop, and MediLodge of Rogers City. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. The Bell River runs in or beside town, and Long Lake is a short drive away for time on the water. Thompson's Harbor State Park, also a short drive away, is a protected area of shoreline and woods for walking. Farther afield, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary is a longer drive and protects waters known for their shipwrecks.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Presque Isle 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 Presque Isle County.
