Capac village, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Capac village is a small town in Michigan, with 1,903 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #321 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 37.3 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 Capac village earn a median of $61,000 a year, 22.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Capac village is valued at $141,300, 53.4% below the national figure and 15% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $792 a month, 43.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 2.3×, 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. 72% 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
