Flasher city, ND in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Flasher city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 207 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #175 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Flasher city earn a median of $43,984 a year, 44% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Flasher city is valued at $58,300, 80.8% below the national figure and 69% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $581 a month, 58.7% below the national figure, or roughly $6,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 1.3×, 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. 87.8% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
