However, did you know that Michigan has a "Beverly Hills" of its own? Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a literal sense. There is an actual Beverly Hills, Michigan. How similar are these Beverly Hills? Let's find out.

Beverly Hills, California

Let's start with the more famous of the two BH's. Beverly Hills is located in Los Angeles just a skip and a hop away from Hollywood. According to US Census data, Beverly Hills has a population of 32,701 with a median household income of $116,771 vs the $91,551 income of the rest of California.

The stat that will most likely make your eyes pop is the housing value, where a whopping 86.1% of homes are worth 1 million dollars or more. Curiously, Beverly Hills has its own "TV" livestream called Beverly Hills TV that features goings on around BH. So if you want to see a slice of the good life, check out the livestream below.

2000 miles to the East you'll find Beverly Hills, Michigan about 20 miles northwest of downtown Detroit. This Beverly Hills has a population of 10,584, making it the largest village in Michigan. Yeah, our Beverly Hills isn't even a city. So there's a strike for Michigan.

However, despite the lower population, our median household income is significantly higher at $162,364 vs the $66,986 average in Michigan. So compared to the rest of the state, our Beverly Hills might be a more luxurious place than California's.

Not bad for a village.
