Lane, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Lane town is a very small community in South Dakota, with 25 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #403 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 42.5 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 Lane town earn a median of $95,833 a year, 22% above the national figure of $78,538 and 46% 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 Lane town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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 25 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lane town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Lane 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.
