Britton city, SD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Britton city is a small town in South Dakota, with 1,117 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #76 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 84% 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 Britton city earn a median of $70,156 a year, 10.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% above the $65,500 median for the 79 South 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Britton city is valued at $110,100, 63.7% below the national figure and 43% below the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $760 a month, 45.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,120 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 1.6×, 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. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
