Byron Center, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Byron Center CDP is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 6,817 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #145 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 41.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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.

Households in Byron Center CDP earn a median of $112,324 a year, 43% above the national figure of $78,538 and 82% 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 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Byron Center CDP is valued at $359,400, 18.5% above the national figure and 116% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97.8% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

The Census withheld gross rent for Byron Center 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.
