Home to only 9,000 people, over 26% of Alger County's residents are seniors aged 65 and over. The area inside the township's limits contains three assisted living facilities for these seniors, who receive room and board and help with personal care for their monthly rent payment. Many assisted living facilities in Munising are licensed and overseen by the Michigan Department of Human Services, though the state does not always require licensure.
