Dixon, IA population, income and ZIP codes

Dixon city is a very small community in Iowa, with 190 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #711 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 33.5 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 Dixon city earn a median of $70,000 a year, 10.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 0.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dixon city is valued at $123,900, 59.2% below the national figure and 21% below the $156,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, 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. 81% 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.

With 190 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Dixon city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Dixon 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.
