Bonner-West Riverside, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Bonner-West Riverside CDP is a small town in Montana, with 1,445 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #77 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Bonner-West Riverside CDP earn a median of $59,609 a year, 24.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bonner-West Riverside CDP is valued at $162,100, 46.6% below the national figure and 35% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $939 a month, 33.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,268 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
