Delano city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Delano city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 6,712 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #132 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Delano city earn a median of $118,091 a year, 50.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 56% 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Delano city is valued at $347,500, 14.5% above the national figure and 45% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $909 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.2% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
