ZIP code 48824

ZIP 48824 is a small town in Ingham County, Michigan, with 2,061 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #680 of 992 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 19.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent, poverty rate for ZIP 48824 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.

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.
