Lewistown Heights, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Lewistown Heights CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 484 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #157 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 27.5 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.

Households in Lewistown Heights CDP earn a median of $86,930 a year, 10.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above the $62,992 median for the 94 Montana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lewistown Heights CDP is valued at $277,300, 8.6% below the national figure and 11% above the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 42.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 27.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 484 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lewistown Heights CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lewistown Heights 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.
