What the numbers mean in Argentine CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Argentine CDP median would spend about 10.7% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.1% of residents and 89.2% of households own their home.

Argentine CDP, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Argentine CDP is a small town in Michigan, with 2,357 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #281 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 46.6 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 Argentine CDP earn a median of $100,733 a year, 28.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% above 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Argentine CDP is valued at $309,600, 2% above the national figure and 86% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $897 a month, 36.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,764 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.7% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.2% 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.
