Detroit Beach, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Detroit Beach CDP is a small town in Michigan, with 2,231 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #287 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Detroit Beach CDP earn a median of $73,478 a year, 6.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above 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 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Detroit Beach CDP is valued at $163,400, 46.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.2×, 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. 94.5% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Detroit Beach 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.
