Cedar, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Cedar CDP is a very small community in Michigan, with 26 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #744 of 745 ranked by population. The median age here is 70.7 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 Cedar CDP earn a median of $51,875 a year, 33.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cedar CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $793 a month, 43.6% below the national figure, or roughly $9,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 47.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 70.7 puts Cedar 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 26 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cedar CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Cedar 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.
