Yorktown city, IA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Yorktown city is a very small community in Iowa, with 26 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #985 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Yorktown city earn a median of $47,500 a year, 39.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Yorktown city is valued at $83,300, 72.5% below the national figure and 47% 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. 66.7% 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 26 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Yorktown city against its county rather than against national figures.
