Cannon Ball, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Cannon Ball CDP is a very small community in North Dakota, with 859 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #69 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 26.4 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 Cannon Ball CDP earn a median of $33,542 a year, 57.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 51% below 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. Poverty reaches 53.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cannon Ball CDP is valued at $128,100, 57.8% below the national figure and 31% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $458 a month, 67.4% below the national figure, or roughly $5,496 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 26.4 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 859 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cannon Ball CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
