Andover city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Andover city is a small city in Minnesota, with 32,825 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #29 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Andover city earn a median of $131,528 a year, 67.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 74% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Andover city is valued at $389,200, 28.3% above the national figure and 62% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,827 a month, 29.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 93.8% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
