Harrisville, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Harrisville city is a very small community in Michigan, with 484 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #554 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 56 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Harrisville city earn a median of $36,089 a year, 54% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 23.7% 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 Harrisville city is valued at $108,700, 64.2% below the national figure and 35% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $689 a month, 51% below the national figure, or roughly $8,268 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.2% 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.

A median age of 56 puts Harrisville city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 484 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Harrisville city against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
