Draper town, SD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Draper town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 20 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #411 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 49.5 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.
Households in Draper town earn a median of $68,750 a year, 12.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above 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 20% 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 Draper town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 42.9% 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 20 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Draper town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Draper 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.
