Hemlock CDP, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hemlock CDP is a small town in Michigan, with 1,323 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #378 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Hemlock CDP earn a median of $92,031 a year, 17.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 49% above 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hemlock CDP is valued at $170,500, 43.8% below the national figure and 3% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $879 a month, 37.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,548 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.5% 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 1.9×, 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. 77.9% 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.
