Bergland, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Bergland CDP is a very small community in Michigan, with 105 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #728 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 2% of them. The median age here is 70.3 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 Bergland CDP earn a median of $57,917 a year, 26.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bergland CDP is valued at $75,200, 75.2% below the national figure and 55% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.3×, 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. 78.5% 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.

A median age of 70.3 puts Bergland CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 105 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bergland CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Bergland CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
