Algonac city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Algonac city is a small town in Michigan, with 4,152 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #201 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 47.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Algonac city earn a median of $49,738 a year, 36.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below 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 17.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Algonac city is valued at $177,200, 41.6% below the national figure and 7% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $923 a month, 34.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
