How Michigan funds state services

The FY2027 enacted adjusted-gross budget, audited statewide tax revenue, and appropriations by service area. Each section keeps its own fiscal period and accounting scope; state and local taxes are separate.

Latest audited results

Fiscal year ended September 30, 2025

Audited government-wide activity for Michigan's primary government. Revenue is program revenue plus general and other revenue in the Statement of Activities; these are accrual-accounting results, not the FY2027 adjusted-gross appropriation.

Michigan State Budget Office: FY2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

Government-wide revenue: $89.9B
Government-wide expenses: $87.1B

Method, scope, and limitations

FactVote used the FY2027 enacted adjusted-gross total and grouped every department exactly once using the State Budget Office's service-area categories. Audited tax-source shares and government-wide results come from the FY2025 Statement of Activities. Shares are recalculated from exact amounts within each section; enacted appropriations and audited accrual results are never mixed.

Michigan's adjusted-gross headline includes federal, state-restricted, General Fund, local, and private funding but removes interdepartmental transfers to avoid double counting.
Appropriations are legal spending authority and may differ from actual cash disbursements or later audited expenses.
The audited property-tax category includes the statewide education levy and real-estate-transfer taxes; additional local property taxes are outside the state governmental-activity total.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics annual averages for the statewide unemployment rate and civilian employment. The chart converts employment to an index with 2015 equal to 100; the data table retains the published employment level.

LAUS estimates are revised each year through the program's annual processing cycle.
Employment is residence-based civilian employment, not a count of jobs located in the state.
Annual averages smooth within-year changes.

2025	456.76	198.5	$66,556	151.0

Method and limitations

FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016.

This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability.
Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation.
Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population.

The Census Bureau did not release the standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates because pandemic-era data collection did not meet its quality standards; the chart preserves that gap.
The rate is a survey estimate and the accompanying margin of error should be considered when comparing nearby values.
Coverage is measured at the interview and does not show how long someone was uninsured during the year.

FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total Michigan population. Values are rounded to the published tenth of a year.

The latest published comparable state series ends in 2022, even though newer national life-expectancy estimates may be available.
Period life expectancy summarizes current mortality rates; it is not a forecast of how long a particular person will live.
The 2020 and 2021 estimates reflect the mortality shock during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses NAEP Data Service mean scale scores for all public-school students in Michigan. The series uses the total student group and the main reading and mathematics composite scales for Grade 4 and Grade 8.

NAEP is generally administered every two years; the 2021 administration was postponed, so the timeline moves from 2019 to 2022.
NAEP results are estimates from a sample. Statistical significance, not a visual gap alone, determines whether scores differ.

Keep in mind

EIA does not publish a current Michigan statewide weekly gasoline-price series; this Midwest regional estimate should not be read as Michigan's statewide average.

Method and limitations

FactVote combines EIA annual utility-scale generation with estimated small-scale solar generation, then groups sources into seven categories. For 2016 Michigan, EIA marked the industrial small-scale estimate and the all-sector total as not meaningful; FactVote adds the published residential and commercial estimates and does not impute the undisclosed industrial value. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour.

Generation is electricity produced inside Michigan, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented.
Michigan's 2016 solar and total-generation values omit an undisclosed industrial small-scale estimate that EIA marked not meaningful because of a large relative standard error or excessive percentage change.
The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA's monthly Midwest Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices series. EIA calculates monthly averages as simple averages of the published weekly retail estimates; prices include taxes.

This is EIA's Midwest petroleum district, not a Michigan statewide average; it combines Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
The regional average masks differences among states, communities, and individual stations.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns, and the weekly fact can differ from the monthly average.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 consistent state series. Population is the July 1 estimate. Change components describe the preceding annual estimates period, and the Census residual adjustment reconciles the components to the published population change.

Vintage estimates are revised as the Census Bureau incorporates newer records and methods.
Domestic and international migration are modeled demographic estimates, not direct counts of every move.
The small residual adjustment is included in the data table but not drawn as a separate bar.

FactVote calculates both rates from the Michigan Department of State's official voters and total registered-voter counts.

The rates use total registration, including inactive registrations, rather than active registration or voting-eligible population.

General registered voters: 8,469,342

Primary registered voters: 8,352,537

How it was measured

FactVote divides the Michigan Department of State's official number voting by its number registered for each election and rounds to two decimals.

Keep in mind

Michigan's official historical tables also publish turnout as a share of voting-age population; this snapshot instead uses total registered voters so the primary and general share one denominator concept.
Total registered voters includes inactive registrations and is not the same as active registration, voting-age population, or voting-eligible population.

Keep in mind

The report covers procedures performed through December 21, 2023 and received by January 31, 2024.
Michigan abolished this mandatory reporting system in February 2024, so this is the final comparable annual report and should not be described as a current 2026 count.
The total does not measure abortions obtained by Michigan residents outside Michigan.
The live MDHHS reports hub points to a legacy vital-statistics archive that was intermittently unavailable during this audit.

Nine trend views cover population, work, housing, public safety, education, health coverage, longevity, gasoline prices, and energy without mixing unlike reporting periods. The gasoline view is a Midwest regional proxy because EIA does not publish a current Michigan statewide series. Each chart now sits directly beneath its related fact section.
