Shoreham, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Shoreham village is a very small community in Michigan, with 899 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #457 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 49.6 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 Shoreham village earn a median of $110,231 a year, 40.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 79% above the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shoreham village is valued at $284,900, 6.1% below the national figure and 72% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,309 a month, 6.9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,708 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 899 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Shoreham village against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
