Wyandotte, MI population, income and ZIP codes

Wyandotte city is a mid-size town in Michigan, with 24,593 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 745 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 40.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Wyandotte city earn a median of $67,846 a year, 13.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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. Poverty reaches 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wyandotte city is valued at $159,700, 47.4% below the national figure and 4% below the $166,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $995 a month, 29.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,940 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 2.4×, 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. 73.5% 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.
