Breezy Point city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Breezy Point city is a small town in Minnesota, with 2,647 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #225 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Breezy Point city earn a median of $85,913 a year, 9.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Breezy Point city is valued at $301,000, essentially level with the national figure and 25% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,117 a month, 20.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.3% 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.
