Beechwood CDP, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Beechwood CDP is a small town in Michigan, with 2,736 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Beechwood CDP earn a median of $68,484 a year, 12.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 26.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Beechwood CDP is valued at $231,500, 23.7% below the national figure and 39% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $819 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
