Village of Grosse Pointe Shores, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Village of Grosse Pointe Shores city is a small town in Michigan, with 2,589 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #266 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 49.4 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 Village of Grosse Pointe Shores city earn a median of $182,000 a year, 131.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 195% above 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Village of Grosse Pointe Shores city is valued at $671,600, 121.4% above the national figure and 304% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.1% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Village of Grosse Pointe Shores city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
