ZIP 58601 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 58601 is a small city in Stark County, North Dakota, with 29,680 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 389 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 34.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in ZIP 58601 earn a median of $81,008 a year, 3.1% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 58601 is valued at $269,200, 11.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $968 a month, 31.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.3% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.

Reading ZIP 58601 in context

How 58601 sits inside Stark County and North Dakota.

ZIP 58601 is tabulated inside Stark County, North Dakota, one of 6 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 389 across North Dakota. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 58601 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 58601 reports a median household income of $81,008, 11% below the $91,429 county median, and 3% above the $78,594 typical ND ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $269,200, 6% above the county figure and 68% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $968 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

North Dakota charges 5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 58601 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 58601 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
