Becker, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Becker city is a small town in Minnesota, with 4,958 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #152 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 32.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Becker city earn a median of $90,188 a year, 14.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Becker city is valued at $257,600, 15.1% below the national figure and 7% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $859 a month, 38.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,308 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.2% 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.

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.
