Northville, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Northville city is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 6,080 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #156 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 46.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Northville city earn a median of $143,875 a year, 83.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 133% above 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Northville city is valued at $455,100, 50% above the national figure and 174% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,443 a month, 2.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
