Luverne, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Luverne city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 59 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 41.3 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 Luverne city earn a median of $88,750 a year, 13% above the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 33.9% 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 Luverne city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 59 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Luverne city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Luverne 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.
