Havre city, MT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Havre city is a mid-size town in Montana, with 9,333 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Havre city earn a median of $58,000 a year, 26.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Havre city is valued at $197,600, 34.9% below the national figure and 21% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $802 a month, 43% below the national figure, or roughly $9,624 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.1% 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.
