Woodhaven city, MI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Woodhaven city is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 12,761 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #82 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 45.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Woodhaven city earn a median of $83,291 a year, 6.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 35% above 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 12.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodhaven city is valued at $221,200, 27.1% below the national figure and 33% above the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,015 a month, 27.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.2% 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.
