A note before these figures: with a population of 14, Strong's ACS estimates come from a small number of survey responses and carry wide margins of error. Individual percentages below — particularly rates that round to 0% or 100% — are approximations, not precise measurements. See data.census.gov for the published margins of error.

Age Demographics
Economy, Income & Housing
The ACS records no residents below the poverty line in Strong. In a community this small the estimate rests on very few survey responses, so it should be read as an absence of measurement rather than a measured absence of poverty. 100.0% of occupied housing units are owner-occupied. This homeownership rate is 44% higher than the state average of 69.3%.

This is 42% higher than the state rate of 35.2%. Nationally, 35.7% of adults hold at least a bachelor's degree. No surveyed resident aged 25 or older reported leaving school before earning a high school diploma, though a rate of exactly 100% reflects the limits of a small sample.
