Zap, ND population, income and ZIP codes

Zap city is a very small community in North Dakota, with 151 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #202 of 406 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 43.7 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 Zap city earn a median of not published a year. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Zap city is valued at $89,300, 70.6% below the national figure and 52% below the $185,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,125 a month, 20% below the national figure, or roughly $13,500 across a full year. 81.5% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

The Census withheld household income for Zap 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.
