Piltzville, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Piltzville CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 605 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #142 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Piltzville CDP earn a median of $81,000 a year, 3.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 29% 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Piltzville CDP is valued at $457,000, 50.6% above the national figure and 82% above the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 605 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Piltzville CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Piltzville 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.
