Rent
The major rental listing sites don’t publish averages for Wolf Point, so we rely on Census figures here.
The Census American Community Survey puts the median rent actually paid in Wolf Point at $612 for a 1-bedroom, including utilities (Census ACS 2020–2024). That’s an average over five years and includes long-time tenants, so it runs below what a new renter is quoted today. Wolf Point’s household income figure is too uncertain to show (a margin of error of about 35%).
