Westwood, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Westwood CDP is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 8,968 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #113 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 35 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 Westwood CDP earn a median of $62,408 a year, 20.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westwood CDP is valued at $187,300, 38.3% below the national figure and 13% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,192 a month, 15.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,304 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.2% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
