Callaway city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Callaway city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 197 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #690 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Callaway city earn a median of $55,000 a year, 30% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Callaway city is valued at $83,300, 72.5% below the national figure and 65% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $792 a month, 43.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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 1.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 80% 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.

With 197 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Callaway city against its county rather than against national figures.
