Cohasset city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cohasset city is a small town in Minnesota, with 2,700 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #220 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 43.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Cohasset city earn a median of $87,833 a year, 11.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cohasset city is valued at $315,700, 4.1% above the national figure and 31% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $917 a month, 34.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.9% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
