Wentworth, SD population, income and ZIP codes

Wentworth village is a very small community in South Dakota, with 189 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #240 of 485 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Wentworth village earn a median of $91,875 a year, 17% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wentworth village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $775 a month, 44.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 90.6% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 189 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wentworth village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Wentworth village 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.
