Belfield, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Belfield city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 618 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 41.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Belfield city earn a median of $46,417 a year, 40.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota 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 17.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belfield city is valued at $185,000, 39% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $675 a month, 52% below the national figure, or roughly $8,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 81.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
