Aspinwall, IA population, income and ZIP codes

Aspinwall city is a very small community in Iowa, with 35 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #970 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 62.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Aspinwall city earn a median of $63,125 a year, 19.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $67,791 median for the 290 Iowa cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 31.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Aspinwall city is valued at $76,300, 74.9% below the national figure and 51% below the $156,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 93.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

A median age of 62.9 puts Aspinwall city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 35 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Aspinwall city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Aspinwall 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.
