Maple Rapids, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Maple Rapids village is a very small community in Michigan, with 724 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #490 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Maple Rapids village earn a median of $50,357 a year, 35.9% 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 39% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Maple Rapids village is valued at $112,500, 62.9% below the national figure and 32% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $432 a month, 69.3% below the national figure, or roughly $5,184 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.3% 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 2.2×, 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. 74% 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.
