Holt CDP, MI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Holt CDP is a small city in Michigan, with 25,275 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Holt CDP earn a median of $87,827 a year, 11.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Holt CDP is valued at $213,200, 29.7% below the national figure and 28% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,323 a month, 5.9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,876 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 2.4×, 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. 65.6% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
