Lansford, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Lansford city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 234 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #161 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 32.8 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 Lansford city earn a median of $72,750 a year, 7.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above 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 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lansford city is valued at $162,500, 46.4% below the national figure and 12% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $795 a month, 43.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 77.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 234 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lansford city against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
