Wyoming-Kentwood VITAL STATISTICS Local Business MAKES A SWEET IMPACT Inaugural Marge Wilson Community Leadership Award was honored In September 2013, Marge Wilson, owner of Marge's Donut Den, was honored with the inaugural Marge Wilson Community Leadership Award. The award is a national award that will be given each year to an Ambucs member who exhibits unique contributions to leadership in their community. The award was given by the Grand Rapids chapter of Ambucs, a nonprofit organization devoted to improving the lives of those with disabilities. One of their main initiatives is providing children and adults with Amtrykes – modified tricycles or bicycles they can ride regardless of a disability. The award was created at the request of the Grand Rapids Ambucs, but will be bestowed next year at a national level. For over 35 years, Marge's Donut Den has been making donuts and baked goods with the slogan "Quality Comes First". Marge opened Marge's Donut Den in 1975 and has since developed a loyal following who believe she makes the best-baked goods anywhere. Congratulations Marge, we are proud you are part of our community! 5 Area Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI ............................. 20.95 sq. miles .................. 24.87 sq. miles Zip Codes Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI ...............49512,49546,49508,49548...49519,49509,49548,49418 Population Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI 2010 census....................... 48,707 ............................... 72,125 2012 estimate.................... 49,694 ............................... 73,371 Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Michigan.gov Age Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI Median Age........................... 34.4 ................................... 32.6 Households Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI Occupied Housing Units................................... 19,747 ............................... 26,970 Source: U.S. Census Bureau Income Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI Median Household Income............................. $47,275 ............................ $44,287 Source: City-data.com Employment Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI Employed........................... 86.5% ............................... 85.9% Source: Michigan Office of Labor Market Information, 2010 Education Kentwood, MI Wyoming, MI ........................................... 47.3% ................................. 56.5% High School Diploma or GED Equivalent Only (2010) Top Industries: Kentwood, MI and Wyoming, MI 1) Manufacturing 2) Educational services, and health care and social assistance 3) Retail trade KENTWOOD CITY HALL 4900 BRETON AVE SE 49508 Phone: (616)698-9610 City Government: http://www.ci.kentwood.mi.us/ WYOMING CITY HALL 1155 28TH ST SW 49509 Phone: (616)530-7226 City Government: http://www.ci.wyoming.mi.us/ Wyoming-Kentwood Chamber Information 921 47th St SW Wyoming, MI 49509 Web site: www.southkent.org Facebook: facebook.com/wkaccambassadors Phone: (616) 531-5990 Fax: (616) 531-0252 WYOMING KENTWOOD Area Chamber of Commerce 2014 Community Profile & Metroguide
