Auburn Hills city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Auburn Hills city is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 24,911 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 36.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
