Stanton city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Stanton city is a small town in Michigan, with 1,292 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #387 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 44.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Stanton city earn a median of $45,714 a year, 41.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 30.9% 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 Stanton city is valued at $89,000, 70.7% below the national figure and 46% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $697 a month, 50.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 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. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
