Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Detroit, MI. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Detroit compares. Among the 100 largest places in Michigan, Detroit is #1 by population, #96 for household income (#1 = highest), #90 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #78 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Wayne County, is #2 of 83 counties for average pay ($76,411).

The place in numbers

Detroit has 638,530 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 6.3% of the population of Michigan. It covers 139 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 4,603 people per square mile. The median age is 35.2, 12% younger than the state median (35.2 against 40.2).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,074 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% below the state median ($1,074 against $1,129). Over a year that is 32.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so rent here is above that line for the typical household. The median home value is $83,900, which is 2.1 times the median household income ($39,938); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 50.4% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (50.4% against 73.2%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI metropolitan area has 1,904,530 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $52,080 a year, about the same as the national median ($52,080 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (208,230 jobs, median $47,280); production (167,920 jobs, median $48,490); transportation and material moving (164,950 jobs, median $44,200). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (2.4 times) and production (1.6 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($127,690) and computer and mathematical ($104,070). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Wayne County was 6.7%. 54.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Wayne County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 65.5% drive alone, 4.9% use public transit, 2.8% walk, 12.0% work from home. 11.4% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 12% below the state average (11.4% against 12.9%).

People and education

18.1% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 44% below the state share (18.1% against 32.5%). 6.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 8% below the state share (6.6% against 7.2%). The poverty rate is 32.7%, 148% above the state rate (32.7% against 13.2%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 72°F (22.4°C), and the coolest is Jan at 24°F (-4.7°C). About 847 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (97 mm) and Jan the driest (52 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Hamtramck (3 miles, rent 8% lower); Hazel Park (5 miles, rent 22% higher); Ferndale (5 miles, rent 22% higher); Oak Park (7 miles, rent 30% higher). Rent differences are against Detroit; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
