Cardwell, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Cardwell CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 43 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #390 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 30.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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.

The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Cardwell 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.
