Alanson, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Alanson village is a very small community in Michigan, with 943 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #450 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 44.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Alanson village earn a median of $61,563 a year, 21.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alanson village is valued at $121,200, 60.1% below the national figure and 27% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $521 a month, 62.9% below the national figure, or roughly $6,252 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 81.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 943 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Alanson village against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
