Grandville city, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Grandville city is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 16,135 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #69 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Grandville city earn a median of $78,551 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Grandville city is valued at $251,100, 17.2% below the national figure and 51% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,112 a month, 20.9% below the national figure, or roughly $13,344 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
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.
