Taylor city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Taylor city is a small city in Michigan, with 62,405 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #18 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Taylor city earn a median of $59,537 a year, 24.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below the $61,715 median for the 438 Michigan cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Taylor city is valued at $141,200, 53.5% below the national figure and 15% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,036 a month, 26.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 2.4×, 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. 65.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
