Fingal, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Fingal city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #188 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 29.8 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 Fingal city earn a median of $61,250 a year, 22% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fingal city is valued at $59,800, 80.3% below the national figure and 68% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1×, 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. 91.9% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 29.8 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 179 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fingal city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fingal city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
