Wardner, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Wardner city is a very small community in Idaho, with 300 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #177 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 31.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Wardner city earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wardner city is valued at $302,900, essentially level with the national figure and 12% above the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,119 a month, 20.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,428 across a full year. 48.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

The Census withheld household income for Wardner city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
