Palermo, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Palermo city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 107 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #240 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 56.3 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 Palermo city earn a median of not published a year. 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Palermo city is valued at $48,300, 84.1% below the national figure and 74% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. 43.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 56.3 puts Palermo 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 107 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Palermo city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for Palermo 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.
