Property tax · $297/mo 1.40% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Macomb County, MI
Insurance & upkeep · $273/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Clinton Township is a large suburban township in Macomb County, home to a good many people and a middle-aged community overall. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though there are also renters, and a typical home costs less than many would expect near a big city. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Macomb ISD, the school district, and the motor vehicle interior parts maker JVIS USA LLC are among the larger workplaces in the township, along with Walmart. Household incomes sit a little below the county's, and a share of people work from home, while most commute a moderate distance.
Things to do. Lake Saint Clair, the best known of the nearby places, is a lake a longer drive away, and the St. Clair River is another waterway in the same direction. The Detroit Institute of Arts, also a longer drive away, is a museum for a day out. The Detroit Zoo is a longer drive away too, and suits a family outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Macomb County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
