Michigan Benchmark is an independent research firm producing rigorous analysis on public education, municipal finance, and community demographics for foundations, advocacy organizations, policy institutions, and public agencies that need to understand what the data actually means.

​

Our work is powered by the Michigan Benchmark Atlas. The Atlas integrates longitudinal data at the district and building level, general fund financial history, staffing trends, student mobility flows, private school enrollment, graduation rates, full-stack tax burden modeling across every taxing jurisdiction in Michigan, and community demographic data drawn from multiple primary sources. No equivalent integrated resource exists elsewhere in Michigan.

​

We work with organizations that need analysis built from primary sources, not summaries of summaries.
