Clinton, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Clinton city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 308 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #602 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 53.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Clinton city earn a median of $63,750 a year, 18.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below 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 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clinton city is valued at $71,800, 76.3% below the national figure and 70% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.1×, 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. 77.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 53.9 puts Clinton city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 308 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Clinton city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Clinton city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
