Mancelona village, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mancelona village is a small town in Michigan, with 1,496 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #357 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Mancelona village earn a median of $50,430 a year, 35.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 12.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mancelona village is valued at $123,900, 59.2% below the national figure and 25% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $956 a month, 32% below the national figure, or roughly $11,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.7% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.2% 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.
