Holland city, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Holland city is a small city in Michigan, with 34,266 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #32 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 32 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Holland city earn a median of $72,905 a year, 7.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Holland city is valued at $235,800, 22.3% below the national figure and 42% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,143 a month, 18.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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. 67.6% 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.
