Here is a welfare concentration map by county. (kind of hard to read but the darker, the greater the concentration).

That map is kind of interesting. It shows some of the most sparsely populated places as having higher concentrations of welfare recipients.

However, I know that some of the northern Michigan counties have 5000 residents total or less so it doesn’t take many to drive the percentage up. Its also important to note that there are few jobs there as well.

Your legend says it a map of unemployment, not welfare. Thank you, though.
