Towner city, ND in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Towner city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 43.8 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 Towner city earn a median of $53,333 a year, 32.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below 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 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Towner city is valued at $93,300, 69.2% below the national figure and 50% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, 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. 79.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 466 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Towner city against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Towner 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.
