Sand Lake, Michigan
Sand Lake is a village in Kent County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 522 at the 2020 census.
The village of Sand Lake was founded in 1869 in northern Kent County and has long served as a bedroom community about 25 miles (40.2 km) northeast of the city of Grand Rapids. In 2009, the village had the highest tax rates of the five villages in Kent County, and some residents petitioned for a vote to have the village disincorporated in order to lower taxes. This proposal was defeated, and Sand Lake continued as an incorporated village. For years, the village operated its own police department, but the department was dissolved by the village council in 2019. This followed, among other things, complaints made by a police officer, alleging that internal misconduct was afoot. Simultaneously, the village maintained a fire department which also served a portion of Nelson Township, and Ensley Township in Newaygo County.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.74 square miles (1.92 km2), of which 0.71 square miles (1.84 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) (4.05%) is water.
As of the census of 2010, there were 500 people, 188 households, and 116 families living in the village. The population density was 625 per square mile. There were 211 housing units at an average density of 263.75 per square mile. The racial makeup of the village was 94.6% White, 0.80% African American, 0.2% Native American, 1% Asian, 1.4% from other races, and 2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 5.2% of the population.
There were 188 households, of which 34% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 39.9% were married couples living together, 14.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 38.3% were non-families. 33% of all households were made up of individuals, and 26.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.66 and the average family size was 3.34.
