Hesperia village, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hesperia village is a small town in Michigan, with 1,007 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #438 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 41.6 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 Hesperia village earn a median of $44,271 a year, 43.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hesperia village is valued at $121,300, 60% below the national figure and 27% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $556 a month, 60.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,672 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
