ZIP code 58782

ZIP 58782 is a very small community in Renville County, North Dakota, with 440 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #188 of 389 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 46.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 58782 earn a median of $75,985 a year, 3.3% below the national figure of $78,538. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 58782 is valued at $45,000, 85.2% below the national figure, 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 7.2% 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 0.6×, 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. 82.8% 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 440 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 58782 against its county rather than against national figures.

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.

ZIP 58782 is tabulated inside Renville County, North Dakota, one of 5 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 389 across North Dakota. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most 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 58782 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 58782 reports a median household income of $75,985, close to the $76,429 county median, and 3% below the $78,594 typical ND ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $45,000, 75% below the county figure and 72% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $458 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 58782 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 58782 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.
