Butler, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Butler town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 4 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #433 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 63 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.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Butler town 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.
