Nessen City, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Nessen City CDP is a very small community in Michigan, with 115 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #725 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 2% of them. The median age here is 48.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Nessen City CDP earn a median of $59,375 a year, 24.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nessen City CDP is valued at $122,500, 59.6% below the national figure and 26% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, 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. 77.8% 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.

With 115 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Nessen City CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Nessen City CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
