West Havre, MT population, income and ZIP codes

West Havre CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #272 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 23.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 West Havre CDP earn a median of $63,819 a year, 18.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in West Havre CDP is valued at $330,000, 8.8% above the national figure and 32% above the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 37.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

A median age of 23.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 155 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare West Havre CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for West Havre 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.
