Sweet Grass, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Sweet Grass CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 64 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #352 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 54.5 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 Sweet Grass CDP earn a median of $79,886 a year, 1.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sweet Grass CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 85.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 54.5 puts Sweet Grass 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 64 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sweet Grass CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Sweet Grass 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.
