Michigan’s median household income of $51,084 In many states with lower household incomes, poverty is also a problem. Michigan has the 15th highest poverty rate in the country at 15.8% of residents. A weak job market can be a drag on incomes. At 5.4%, the state had one of the highest unemployment rates in the country in 2015. Low incomes often correspond with low educational attainment, and Michigan is no exception.
