Manvel, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Manvel city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 413 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #114 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 32.2 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 Manvel city earn a median of $89,500 a year, 14% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above 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 2.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Manvel city is valued at $184,500, 39.2% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,136 a month, 19.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,632 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. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, 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. 90.8% 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. 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.

With 413 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Manvel 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.
