Arden Hills city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Arden Hills city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 9,737 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #103 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 35.4 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 Arden Hills city earn a median of $128,668 a year, 63.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 70% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Arden Hills city is valued at $423,800, 39.7% above the national figure and 76% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,847 a month, 31.4% above the national figure, or roughly $22,164 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.6% 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. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
