3 WHAT IS A PROGRESS REPORT? The St. Clair County Progress Report is a publication that provides a comprehensive perspective of life in St. Clair County and the multiple elements that contribute to the overall fitness of our community. The report highlights key indicators of progress. Progress is about improvements in the quality of life of people and households. While measuring economic performance and resources is important, it is not all that matters when assessing progress for people s quality of life. It also requires looking into the diverse living conditions and experiences. For the purpose of this progress report we have identified six focus areas that are fundamental to our quality of life. Under these six focus areas, there are a total of thirty community indicators that will enable us to measure our community. In measuring progress, St. Clair County s latest data is important, but it is also helpful to see the county s trend over time. In an effort to track changes in the county, comparisons with previous years are shown. It is also interesting to examine data for a county in comparison to other geographical entities. Comparisons with other geographies can reveal how well we are doing relative to our regional peer counties. Where possible, comparisons are made to the Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) region of Michigan which includes the surrounding counties of Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne as well as the State of Michigan. This is the first report of what will become an annual publication and will set a benchmark for the county going forward and allow us to measure our progress. The ultimate goal of the St. Clair County Indicators Report is to inform and inspire community members, policymakers, and business leaders working to make St. Clair the best it can be. Page 3

5 WELL BEING OF PEOPLE Appeal of St. Clair County A prosperous community should a ract new residents either through employment opportuni es or as a place from which to commute. From 2010 to 2015, the popula on of the county decreased by 1.79 percent. In comparison, the popula on of the en re state grew by.46 percent. Southeast Michigan experienced a significant decline in popula on during the recent mul year recession. While there were only two other coun es with popula on loss, of those that did not suffer growth, none of them experienced a significant growth rate as they were all fewer than four percent. It is expected that the dynamics of the region s popula on will con nue to change, with an upsurge in an older populace. Popula on Change Source: SEMCOG Page 5
6 WELL BEING OF PEOPLE Rela ve Affluence Part of our defini-on of well-being is having the financial resources to meet basic needs. Living below the poverty level creates a situa-on in which persons have a difficult -me mee-ng their needs. In 2012, the federal government defined poverty as having a household income of $23,050 for a family of four. The county s poverty rate for families in 2015 was 10.6 percent (89.4% living above poverty). In trying to highlight our areas of prosperity rather than our deficiencies our graph depicts the percentage of residents whose income is above the poverty level. Since 2010, the percentage of residents above the poverty level has been slightly below 90 percent. Of the six coun-es being compared, St. Clair County has the third highest percentage of residents below poverty.

7 WELL BEING OF PEOPLE Teen Pregnancy A teenage pregnancy is a leading factor of limi ng the future opportuni es of a young person. Not only is the teen mother at a handicap, so is the child. The social and economic costs for the teen parents, their children, and the community are substan al. The pregnancy rate for teens has been dropping in the United States over the past 20 years. It is worth no ng the state percentage also decreased from 2012 (34%) to 2016 (29%). Looking at the region, this seems to be true for all seven SEMCOG coun es. In St. Clair County, the rate for 2016 (29%) is the lowest it has been for the years shown since The county s teen pregnancy rate is right on a par with that of the state; however, of the six coun es being ranked, St. Clair County has the second highest teen birth rate.

8 WELL BEING OF PEOPLE Violent Crime Rate Crime rate is one way to determine the safety of an area. The violent crime rate is defined as the number of violent crime offenses per 100,000 people. The violent crime rate in St. Clair County is 418 violent crime offenses per 100,000 people. St. Clair County has a lower violent crime rate than the State of Michigan (464) and the SEMCOG region (3,861). St. Clair County has a lower violent crime rate than four coun es in the region, Macomb (2,550), Oakland (2,687), Washtenaw (1,095), and Wayne (19,716).

9 High School Gradua on Rate A high school diploma is a prerequisite to any chance for a good job and a comfortable standard of living. The Michigan Department of Educa on began using the four year cohort method recommended by No Child Le Behind to calculate high school gradua on rates for the class of This method follows students across their high school careers and takes into account students who enter and leave the county during their high school years. With the excep on of the Port Huron Area School District, all other schools within the St. Clair County Intermediate School District have gradua on rates that exceed the statewide rate. The rates for most of the schools have been rela vely steady over the years. Every district has a 75 percent gradua on rate or higher. While the Port Huron Area School District has the lowest rate of gradua on it is also the only school district to experience a consistent growth in gradua on rates over the past five years. Algonac, Marysville and Yale have all shown a growth from 2010 to 2015, but have also experienced some dips throughout this same period.

10 EDUCATION Educa on A ainment To be fully compe ve in the marketplace, higher educa on is becoming increasingly necessary. Educa on levels the playing field for everyone. The Census Bureau has reported that educa on levels had more effect on earnings during 40 years in the workforce than any other demographic factor, such as gender or race. Usually, educa onal a ainment refers to persons 25 and older since they are mostly finished with their educa on by that me. In Michigan, 26.4% have a bachelor s degree or higher. A total of 10.3% have a professional or graduate degree. From 2010 to 2014, the percentage of St. Clair County residents 25 and older with a bachelor s or higher degree increased. Despite this, the county s percentages are slightly lower than the state s average. The county ranks last of the SEMCOG region coun es for the percentage of residents having a bachelor s degree or higher. Educa on A ainment Source: American Community Survey Page 10
11 ECONOMIC ENGINE Unemployment Rate St. Clair County, along with the en re southeastern Michigan region, experienced a drama c increase in their unemployment rates from 2008 to However, the county s unemployment rate has been steadily dropping since While the county s unemployment rate has been dropping it is s ll higher than Michigan s 4.5 percent (December 2016). St. Clair County has the second highest unemployment rate of the seven coun es in the SEMCOG region, with Wayne County having a slightly higher rate of 5.7 percent Unemployment Rate Source: Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget Page 11
12 ECONOMIC ENGINE Patents Having a crea ve and inven ve workforce is an asset to the company fortunate enough to have these employees and to the en re community s economy. One measure of crea vity is the gran ng of a patent for someone s inven on. The United States Patents and Trademark Office reports the number of patents granted to persons residing in a county. Of the coun es measured, Oakland County had the highest number of patents by far. However, Oakland County has over 7.5 mes the size of St. Clair County s popula on. While St. Clair County had the least patents granted within the SEMCOG region it did have compe vely similar numbers with Monroe County, the SEMCOG county with the closest popula on to that of St. Clair.

13 ECONOMIC ENGINE Minority Owned Businesses As the country s popula on becomes more diverse, we no ce the business sector is also becoming more diverse. It is actually growing faster than the popula on growth among minority groups. According to the Minority Business Development Agency, the rate at which minority-owned businesses are being formed con nues to rise. According to the Census Bureau's 2012 Survey of Business Owners, the number of minority business enterprises increased 39 percent between 2007 and 2012 (from 5.8 million to 8.0 million). Our county is no excep on with our minority owned business owners growing by almost three percent in the past five years. The number of minority businesses is a measure of the opportuni es that exist for all. The Economic Census is conducted every five years. This is why data is presented for 2007 and The percentage of businesses that are minority owned increased from 2007 to 2012 among all coun es within the SEMCOG region as well as the state as a whole. Our research has shown that minority entrepreneurs have historically had to face more social and economic discrimina on when looking to launch or grow businesses than nonminority groups. They o en faced mul ple hurdles such as language barriers, cultural issues; poten al biases as well a tougher me securing capital with stricter lending standards. Technology has helped level the playing field and made the process easier. In addi on, as the baby boomers begin to re re they o en sell their businesses to a younger genera on that is con nues to become more and more diverse. With the growing popula on diversity and elimina on of hurdles, the minority owned businesses will likely con nue to experience steady growth over me.

14 ECONOMIC ENGINE Residen al Building Permits A sign of a growing economy is new building starts. This graph presents data on the number of building permits for new residen al housing as well as permits for demoli ons. The collapse in new homes starts in 2006 and con nues un l During those six years, the number of building permits for new housing decreased by 93.2 percent. A er reaching a low of 48 in both 2010 and 2011, the number of residen al building permits has been increasing. The county does rank last of the seven coun es for residen al housing building permits.

15 HEALTH AND SAFETY Health Care Insurance Coverage Health insurance coverage is a good indicator of resident s access to health care. Those without health insurance coverage have to overcome the high costs to receive health care which can cause people without insurance to go without. St. Clair County has a health insurance coverage rate over 89%. The coverage rate is about the same as the State of Michigan, but below the SEMCOG region average. St. Clair County has a higher rate than only one county in the SEMCOG region, Wayne County. Percentage of Residents with health insurance coverage Source: American Community Survey Page 15
16 HEALTH AND SAFETY Health Outcomes Health Outcomes is a sta s c the University of Wisconsin s Popula on Health Ins tute uses to compare coun es based on a variety of health statuses.

21 HEALTH AND SAFETY Immuniza on Diseases that were previously very prevalent now can be controlled by vaccines. Vaccines are given during childhood because many of the diseases they are designed to prevent are more common at a younger age. Maintaining a high immuniza on rate is important to prevent outbreaks. The immuniza on rate in St. Clair County is 72.1%. This rate is below the statewide rate of 75.2% and about the same as the na onal rate of 72.2%.
