The median home value is $112,300, well under the state's $147,900 and the national $173,750. The median property tax rate of 1.27% is higher than Michigan's 1.13% and the national 0.74%, so owners pay a larger share of their home's value in tax even though prices are low.
The median household income of $51,563 is below the state's $59,874 and the national $65,108, so lower housing costs go hand in hand with lower earnings. The unemployment rate of 2.94% matches the state's 2.94% and is slightly above the national 2.87%.
