Jenison CDP, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Jenison CDP is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 17,334 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #66 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 37.4 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 Jenison CDP earn a median of $86,063 a year, 9.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 39% 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Jenison CDP is valued at $257,600, 15.1% below the national figure and 55% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,962 a month, 39.5% above the national figure, or roughly $23,544 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.4% 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. 85.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
