Crook City, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Crook City CDP is a very small community in South Dakota, with 278 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #205 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 40.3 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 Crook City CDP earn a median of $143,426 a year, 82.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 119% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crook City CDP is valued at $462,200, 52.3% above the national figure and 140% above the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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 278 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Crook City CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Crook City 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.
