Richardton, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Richardton city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 761 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #76 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Richardton city earn a median of $69,844 a year, 11.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $68,472 median for the 51 North Dakota cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Richardton city is valued at $188,900, 37.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $576 a month, 59% below the national figure, or roughly $6,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.9% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.5% 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.
