Battle Mountain, NV population, income and ZIP codes

Battle Mountain CDP is a small town in Nevada, with 3,957 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 38.8 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 Battle Mountain CDP earn a median of $78,149 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $77,794 median for the 66 Nevada cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Battle Mountain CDP is valued at $205,500, 32.3% below the national figure and 43% below the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,067 a month, 24.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,804 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
