Beverly Hills

Oakland County, Michigan · part of the Detroit, MI metro

MichiganBeverly Hills, MIBeverly HillsBeverly Hills

The short answer

Beverly Hills is home to 10,524 people. Median household income is $177,412 a year and median rent is $2,077 a month, 14.0% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $511,000, about 2.9x annual median household income.

What sets Beverly Hills apart is how far household money goes. After the median rent, with other prices set to the US average, the median household keeps about $150,300 a year, more than in 95% of places its size. It is the 2nd-highest of 148 Michigan places we track. Also notable: Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 98 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings.

Beverly Hills in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 15% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 14% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Beverly Hills does better than 86% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 18%.
