The people of Greater Lansing are a diverse cross-section of our country. We’re young and old, rich and poor, married and single, gay and straight – with both collars and skins of almost every imaginable color.
We’re well-educated – more than 90 percent of Greater Lansing region residents are high-school graduates, and more than 30 percent have at least a bachelor’s degree. We’re solidly middle-class – our region’s median household income (just under $49,000 in 2006) is about the same as the median household income for the nation as a whole.
We’re multicultural – some nine percent of our region’s residents speak a language other than English at home, and some six percent were born in countries other than the United States. And we’re stable – more than 80 percent of our residents lived in the same spot a year ago.
We work hard, but we play hard, too. And we’ve got lots of places to play...
