Rodman, IA population, income and ZIP codes

Rodman city is a very small community in Iowa, with 22 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #995 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 3% of them. The median age here is 62.5 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 Rodman city earn a median of $83,125 a year, 5.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rodman city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 62.5 puts Rodman 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 22 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rodman city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Rodman 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.
