Bath, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Bath CDP is a very small community in South Dakota, with 116 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #286 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Bath CDP earn a median of $33,031 a year, 57.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 50% below the $65,500 median for the 79 South Dakota cities we cover. 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 41.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bath CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 60.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

With 116 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bath CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Bath CDP 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.
