Trenton, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Trenton CDP is a very small community in North Dakota, with 464 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #111 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 31.2 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 Trenton CDP earn a median of $99,531 a year, 26.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 45% above 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Trenton CDP is valued at $202,600, 33.2% below the national figure and 9% above the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $639 a month, 54.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 7.7% 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×, 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. 60.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 464 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Trenton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
