Acton, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Acton CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 56 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #366 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 37.2 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 Acton CDP earn a median of $36,563 a year, 53.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $62,992 median for the 94 Montana 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Acton CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,177 a month, 16.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 38.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 17.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 56 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Acton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Acton 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.
