Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Detroit Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Detroit city center and its immediate surrounding zip codes exhibit notably lower median ages, predominantly in the 20–30 range, reflecting a younger urban population, while suburban communities such as Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Sterling Heights trend considerably older with median ages in the mid-40s to upper 50s. A particularly striking cluster of the youngest zip codes (under 25) appears in the Dearborn and southwest Detroit area, likely corresponding to neighborhoods with larger immigrant families and younger household compositions. The northwestern suburbs display the highest median ages, with several zip codes reaching into the upper 50s and low 60s, suggesting established, aging-in-place communities with lower turnover.
