Canistota city, SD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Canistota city is a very small community in South Dakota, with 664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #123 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 Canistota city earn a median of $61,979 a year, 21.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below the $65,500 median for the 79 South 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Canistota city is valued at $112,200, 63% below the national figure and 42% below the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, 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. 88.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 664 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Canistota city against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Canistota 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.
