Fort Totten, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Fort Totten CDP is a very small community in North Dakota, with 930 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #58 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 14.3 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 Fort Totten CDP earn a median of $28,750 a year, 63.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 58% 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 40.4% 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 Fort Totten CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $363 a month, 74.2% below the national figure, or roughly $4,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 50.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 14.3 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 930 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fort Totten CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Fort Totten CDP 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.
