Burlington city, ND in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burlington city is a small town in North Dakota, with 1,169 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 30.7 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 Burlington city earn a median of $95,216 a year, 21.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 39% above the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 12.5% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
