Rowena CDP, SD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Rowena CDP is a very small community in South Dakota, with 137 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #274 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Rowena CDP earn a median of $148,036 a year, 88.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 126% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Rowena CDP is valued at $305,900, essentially level with the national figure and 59% above the $192,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, 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. 60.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 137 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rowena CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Rowena CDP 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.
