ZIP code 48380

ZIP 48380 is a mid-size town in Oakland County, Michigan, with 7,501 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #385 of 992 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 48.7 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 ZIP 48380 earn a median of $133,224 a year, 69.6% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 48380 is valued at $438,700, 44.6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 99.7% 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 ZIP 48380 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.

ZIP 48380 is tabulated inside Oakland County, Michigan, one of 68 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 992 across Michigan. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 48380 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 48380 reports a median household income of $133,224, 28% above the $103,870 county median, and 100% above the $66,726 typical MI ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $438,700, 33% above the county figure and 145% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Michigan charges 6% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 48380.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 48380 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
