Coopersville city, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Coopersville city is a small town in Michigan, with 4,841 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #183 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Coopersville city earn a median of $62,575 a year, 20.3% 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. 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Coopersville city is valued at $216,900, 28.5% below the national figure and 31% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,035 a month, 26.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.6% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
