Blaine city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blaine city is a small city in Minnesota, with 71,261 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Blaine city earn a median of $103,382 a year, 31.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blaine city is valued at $327,500, 7.9% above the national figure and 36% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,707 a month, 21.4% above the national figure, or roughly $20,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85% 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.
