Clifford, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Clifford village is a very small community in Michigan, with 297 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #626 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 44.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Clifford village 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. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clifford village is valued at $106,300, 65% below the national figure and 36% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $875 a month, 37.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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. 85.5% 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.

With 297 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Clifford village against its county rather than against national figures.
