Crosby city, ND in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Crosby city is a small town in North Dakota, with 1,116 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 44.9 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 Crosby city earn a median of $80,000 a year, 1.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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. Poverty reaches 2.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Crosby city is valued at $111,800, 63.2% below the national figure and 40% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,023 a month, 27.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 1.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 65.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
