Fulton town, SD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fulton town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 89 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #317 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Fulton town earn a median of $54,844 a year, 30.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fulton town is valued at $150,000, 50.6% below the national figure and 22% below the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $458 a month, 67.4% below the national figure, or roughly $5,496 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.4% 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 89 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fulton town against its county rather than against national figures.
