Vaughn CDP, MT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Vaughn CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 970 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Vaughn CDP earn a median of $54,250 a year, 30.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below 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 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vaughn CDP is valued at $165,600, 45.4% below the national figure and 34% below the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $865 a month, 38.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.9% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 970 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Vaughn CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
