Cherry Creek, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Cherry Creek CDP is a very small community in South Dakota, with 158 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #263 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Cherry Creek CDP earn a median of $42,788 a year, 45.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below the $65,500 median for the 79 South Dakota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 22.2% 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 Cherry Creek CDP is valued at $205,000, 32.4% below the national figure and 6% above the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $828 a month, 41.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 34% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 158 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cherry Creek CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
