Orchard, IA population, income and ZIP codes

Orchard city is a very small community in Iowa, with 106 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #851 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Orchard city earn a median of $52,500 a year, 33.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $67,791 median for the 290 Iowa cities we cover. 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 15.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orchard city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 67.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 106 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Orchard city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Orchard 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.
