Walhalla, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Walhalla city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 927 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #60 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 51.9 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 Walhalla city earn a median of $30,774 a year, 60.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 55% 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 18% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Walhalla city is valued at $100,300, 66.9% below the national figure and 46% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $644 a month, 54.2% below the national figure, or roughly $7,728 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.4% 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.

A median age of 51.9 puts Walhalla 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 927 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Walhalla city 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.
