Cement City, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Cement City village is a very small community in Michigan, with 584 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #529 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 37.4 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 Cement City village earn a median of $50,750 a year, 35.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 25.3% 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 Cement City village is valued at $100,900, 66.7% below the national figure and 39% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $888 a month, 36.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,656 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, 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. 77.9% 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.
