Ovid city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ovid city is a small town in Michigan, with 1,331 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #377 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 49% 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 Ovid city earn a median of $49,094 a year, 37.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 19.3% 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 Ovid city is valued at $92,000, 69.7% below the national figure and 45% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $844 a month, 40% below the national figure, or roughly $10,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 1.9×, 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. 64.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
