Jackson, MI is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 104,131 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. U.S. cities rarely map cleanly to a single ZIP — Jackson splits its residents across 3 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 Jackson, the median household income averages $57,772 and per-capita income averages $31,874. Poverty rate runs at 15.6% and unemployment at 6.7%. On housing, the average median home value is $163,700 with median rent of $976 per month, and 65.4% of occupied units are owner-occupied. These are arithmetic averages across the 3 ZIPs — not population-weighted — so small ZIPs influence the headline numbers the same as large ones.
