Canton, MI is covered by 2 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 90,173 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. U.S. cities rarely map cleanly to a single ZIP — Canton splits its residents across 2 delivery areas, each with its own demographic and housing profile. The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Canton, the median household income averages $121,551 and per-capita income averages $53,442. Poverty rate runs at 5.5% and unemployment at 3.6%. On housing, the average median home value is $374,450 with median rent of $1,512 per month, and 77.1% of occupied units are owner-occupied. These are arithmetic averages across the 2 ZIPs — not population-weighted — so small ZIPs influence the headline numbers the same as large ones.
