Malmstrom AFB, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Malmstrom AFB CDP is a small town in Montana, with 4,191 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 22.4 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 Malmstrom AFB CDP earn a median of $64,079 a year, 18.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $62,992 median for the 94 Montana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Malmstrom AFB CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,195 a month, 15% below the national figure, or roughly $14,340 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 1.4% 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 22.4 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.

The Census withheld home value for Malmstrom AFB 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.
