Livonia city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Livonia city is a small city in Michigan, with 94,058 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #8 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 45.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Livonia city earn a median of $96,317 a year, 22.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 56% 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Livonia city is valued at $265,300, 12.6% below the national figure and 60% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,284 a month, 8.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.5% 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.
