Looking to move to the Marquette area..... Concerned about the 28% poverty rate. Why so high? And does this translate into crime?

Marquette is very safe. The poverty level is because of the Northern Michigan University there, most University students are classified as in poverty.

Also, since most of the UP is very rural, you'll find services concentrated in the few large towns (for those with disabilities, seniors, etc). We are very safe here.
