Belfry CDP, MT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Belfry CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 240 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #228 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Belfry CDP earn a median of $45,625 a year, 41.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below the $62,992 median for the 94 Montana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 39.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belfry CDP is valued at $139,600, 54% below the national figure and 44% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 240 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Belfry CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Belfry 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.
