Total Population 721,168 people live in the 12,672.30 square mile report area defined for this assessment according to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey. The population density for this area, estimated at 56.91 persons per square mile, is less than the national average population density and significantly lower than the State average of 175.48 population per square mile. Bay and Midland counties have the highest population density in the service area while Alcona and Oscoda have the lowest Page 2 of 26
Change in Total Population According to the United States Census Bureau State and County Population Estimates for 2012-2016, the general population in the service area fell by 9,544 persons, a change of -1.3%. During this same period, a.5% increase occurred in the State. Eight counties had a decrease greater than 2%, ranging from Arenac at -2.3% (355) fewer people to Oscoda at -3.86% (328).

Unlike the numbers for the general population where Michigan showed a slight increase over the reporting period, the 0-4 population decreased. The same is true for the NEMCSA service area where the 0-4 population has declined 2.7%. One county actually had a double-digit decrease in this population Bay (-10.8%). Iosco County actually showed a significant increase, 11.2%, of 116 children age 0-4. Michigan as a whole had 2,906 fewer infants and young children in 2016 compared to 2012, with 34.5% (1002) of those from the NEMCSA service area. Live Births: The number of live births has been generally declining over the period illustrated in table. When comparing 2012 to 2016 data, Michigan s birthrate is down by 487 infants (-0.4%) while the service area is actually down by 120 infants (1.7%). Eight counties did experience an increase in births, ranging from Gladwin, an increase of 14.5% (34 births), to Alcona with 0.4% increase (1 birth). Oscoda had the Page 4 of 26
highest increased rate in live births, up 23.8% (20). Osceola experienced the greatest loss of the infant, down 15.7% (44 births).

Without a network of support and a safe community, families cannot thrive. Ensuring access to social and economic resources provides a foundation for a healthy community. Children Eligible for Free/Reduced Price Lunch This indicator is relevant because it assesses vulnerable populations that are more likely to have multiple health access, health status, and social support needs.

Health Insurance 0-18 Population Receiving Medicaid This indicator reports the percentage of the population age 0-18 enrolled in Medicaid (or other meanstested public health insurance). This indicator is relevant because it assesses vulnerable populations that are more likely to have multiple health access, health status, and social support needs. The 21-county service area percentage of the 0-18 population enrolled in Medicaid is 47.9% - just slightly higher than Michigan at 41.5%.
