Bradford, IA population, income and ZIP codes

Bradford CDP is a very small community in Iowa, with 196 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #706 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Bradford CDP earn a median of $63,182 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. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bradford CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 62.5% 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.

With 196 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bradford CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Bradford CDP 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.
