Ontonagon County · Population 239
Lake Gogebic, MI (ZIP 49910) sits in Ontonagon County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 49.1%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,000. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $58,705 per tax return. Local establishments report average pay of $19,618 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $35,632 per worker, roughly 46% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 7.1% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 3.1 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 15th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 8 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1977. Annual average temperature is just 39.6°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. County Health Rankings reports 13,371 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 34.2% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 63 residents (24 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $51,667, fair market rent of $1,080 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $163,135, up 15.3% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
