Casselton city, ND in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Casselton city is a small town in North Dakota, with 2,640 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #20 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Casselton city earn a median of $68,472 a year, 12.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 13.4% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
