Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Detroit Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median rents in the Detroit metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery pattern, with the lowest rents—often below $750—concentrated in Detroit's eastern and southern neighborhoods, while suburban zip codes to the north and west generally command rents between $1,250 and $1,750. A notable high-rent cluster exceeding $2,000 appears in the Farmington Hills corridor and select zip codes near Sterling Heights, likely reflecting newer housing stock or higher-demand school districts. The western exurban fringe displays considerable variability, with pockets of $1,500+ rents adjacent to more moderate areas around Westland and Taylor.
