Cromwell city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cromwell city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 379 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #569 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 34.6 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 Cromwell city earn a median of $55,625 a year, 29.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cromwell city is valued at $150,000, 50.6% below the national figure and 38% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $825 a month, 41.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,900 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
