Fairview town, SD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fairview town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 95 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #309 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 31.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Fairview town earn a median of $69,464 a year, 11.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairview town is valued at $129,200, 57.4% below the national figure and 33% below the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, 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. 94.3% 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 95 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fairview town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fairview 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.
