| 2000 vs. 2015 Population Growth and Change Livingston County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = 18.76% Rank = #1 Ontonagon County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = -21.81% Rank = #83 Manistee County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = 0.08% Rank = #37 With a spotlight on Manistee County, the chart above displays the distribution of the net percent change of population across Michigan's 83 counties over the period 2000-2015. Those counties whose population growth registered above the statewide average over this period realized an increase in their statewide share of population. Likewise, those counties whose population growth registered below the statewide average experienced a decline in their relative share of population statewide. Statewide Snippets:- Over 2000-2015 population grew in thirty-eight Michigan counties while declining in forty-five.
- Population growth in thirty-five counties outpaced the statewide average (0.35%), while growth in forty-eight counties trailed.
- At the extremes of the distribution, Livingston County posted the highest growth of population (18.76%), while Ontonagon County placed last by logging a -21.81% decline.
- The spread in population growth between the highest (Livingston County, 18.76%) and lowest (Ontonagon County, -21.81%) over 2000-2015 equated to 40.58% ( = 18.76% − -21.81%).
- Population growth statewide is but a weighted metric that stems from each county's share of population statewide. On this point, as the largest county in Michigan, Wayne County's net population growth over 2000-2015 of -266,629 made up -768.67% of the total net growth statewide (34,687):
Wayne County: Percent Share of Michigan's Population Growth, 2000-2015:-768.67% = (-266,629 / 34,687) x 100 Manistee County Snippets:- Over 2000-2015, Manistee County posted a 0.08% net gain in population.
- Manistee County was joined by forty-seven other counties whose population growth over 2000-2015 registered below the statewide average (0.35%).
- Ranked #37 among Michigan's 83 counties, Manistee County's population growth (0.08%) trailed the statewide average of 0.35% by a 0.27% margin.
- Manistee County's net population growth (0.08%, #37) over 2000-2015 registered just above that of Charlevoix County (0.01%, #38) and just below that of Lenawee County (0.10%, #36).
