Sedan, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Sedan CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #300 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 56.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sedan CDP earn a median of $105,714 a year, 34.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 68% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sedan CDP is valued at $384,600, 26.8% above the national figure and 53% above the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,042 a month, 25.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44% 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 56.3 puts Sedan CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 124 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sedan CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
