THRIVE Scorecard Report
MiHIA Region
The vision of THRIVE is to see a thriving Great Lakes Bay Region with transformed healthcare, exceptional community well-being and a vibrant economy. We will do so through improved health and sustained economic growth in the Great Lakes Bay Region through highly effective and coordinated stakeholder collaboration. The Region includes the counties of Arenac, Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Huron, Iosco, Isabella, Midland, Ogemaw, Roscommon, Saginaw, Sanilac and Tuscola. This Scorecard Report will serve to set a baseline for our work in the region.
Overall Score
The purpose of THRIVE is to change the health and economic landscape. This single overall metric cross-cuts health factors and economic drivers.
U.S. News & World Report Healthiest Communities Overall Score
MiHIA Region: 44.9/100
Prior Value: 46.9/100
The Healthiest Communities rankings and scores from U.S. News & World Report show how nearly 3,000 U.S. counties and county equivalents perform in 84 metrics across 10 health-related categories on a scale of 0 to 100.
Economic Measures
Median Household Income in the MiHIA Region spans from $39,565 in Clare County to $62,625 in Midland County and is significantly improving in all counties. Areas with higher median household incomes are likely to have more educated residents and lower unemployment rates. ALICE households represent those who are working but unable to afford the basic necessities of housing, food, child care, health care, and transportation due to the lack of jobs that can support basic necessities and increases in cost of living.
Children Living Below Poverty Level
This indicator shows the percentage of people under the age of 18 who are living below the federal poverty level.

Jobs and Labor Force
Healthy populations improve workplace productivity. With job creation and enhanced productivity, the labor force grows, the trend towards out-migration is reversed. Overall, economic prosperity increases: salaries will be higher and there will be fewer economically disadvantaged residents.
Population 16+ in Civilian Labor Force
This indicator describes persons in the civilian labor force who are classified as employed or unemployed as a percent of the population aged 16 years and over, meaning there is a smaller percentage of workers available for the MiHIA Region than Michigan State and the US.

County Health Rankings measures overall quality of life in its Morbidity Rankings. The ranking is based on a summary composite score calculated from the following measures: poor or fair health, poor physical health days, poor mental health days, and low birthweight. None of the MiHIA Counties met the Healthy People 2020 target for Adults 20+ who are Obese. Targets were revised to be lower for Healthy People 2030 and four MiHIA Counties have already met the goals.
High Blood Pressure Prevalence
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who have been told they have high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure should be less than 120/80 mm Hg for an adult. Blood pressure above this level (140/90 mm Hg or higher) is considered high (hypertension).

Households without a Vehicle
Learn More
Vehicle ownership is directly related to the ability to travel. In general, people living in a household without a car make fewer than half the number of journeys compared to those with a car. This limits their access to essential local services such as supermarkets, post offices, doctors' offices, and hospitals. Most households with above-average incomes have a car while only half of low-income households do.
