Ronan city, MT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ronan city is a small town in Montana, with 1,962 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 35.3 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 Ronan city earn a median of $41,429 a year, 47.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below 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 24.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ronan city is valued at $201,700, 33.5% below the national figure and 20% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $798 a month, 43.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 56.6% 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.
