Fort Peck, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Fort Peck town is a very small community in Montana, with 219 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #237 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 51.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Fort Peck town earn a median of $88,333 a year, 12.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Peck town is valued at $272,400, 10.2% below the national figure and 9% above 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. 95.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 51.7 puts Fort Peck town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 219 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fort Peck town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fort Peck town 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.
