A historical chart is in development for this indicator.

What this means

BEA county-level GDP measures total economic output produced within each of Michigan’s 83 counties. Wayne County alone contributes roughly one quarter of state GDP; the top 5 counties account for over 60%.

What you can do

For local-government planners: track YoY growth vs. peer counties to benchmark economic-development effectiveness.
For businesses choosing a Michigan location: compare per-capita GDP (output ÷ population) — that adjusts for size and reveals productive economies.
Use alongside Census ACS income data — high GDP per capita with stagnant median income flags productivity gains not reaching workers.
