Glasgow city, MT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Glasgow city is a small town in Montana, with 3,194 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Glasgow city earn a median of $76,985 a year, 2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glasgow city is valued at $206,000, 32.1% below the national figure and 18% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $794 a month, 43.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% 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. 71% 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.
