McHenry, ND population, income and ZIP codes

McHenry city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 58 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #293 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 57.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 McHenry city earn a median of $2,499 a year, 96.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 96% below the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 41.4% 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 McHenry 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 57.2 puts McHenry city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 58 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare McHenry city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for McHenry 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.
