Explanation of the indicator:
GDP (Gross Domestic Product), the primary measure of production
in the U.S., refers to the quantity of goods and services
produced. Positive numbers in the chart reflect a growing
economy, while negative numbers reflect a shrinking economy.
Real GDP, which is the GDP adjusted for inflation, is used
in the chart.
Notes
In some cases, County-level data are not available from
the same data source used by the State. In other cases,
County-level data are not available for the same time frame
used by the State. In these instances, data sources and
time frames were selected that most closely match those
of the State. Due to this difference, it must be noted
that comparisons may not be completely equivalent in all
cases. Michigan's data source is the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis. Ottawa County’s data source is the Upjohn Institute. When this page was last updated in August 2019, 2016
data was the most recent data available for Michigan, and 2018 data was the most recent data available for
Ottawa County. State of Michigan dashboard measures were last updated in December 2018 prior to the change in administration. Plans for future data updates from the new administration have not been communicated as of yet.
