Eden, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Eden town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 206 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #232 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 59.5 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 Eden town earn a median of not published a year. 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 1.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eden town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $740 a month, 47.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,880 across a full year. 87.2% 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.

A median age of 59.5 puts Eden town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 206 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Eden town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value for Eden 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.
