Dilworth city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dilworth city is a small town in Minnesota, with 4,664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #162 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 39.7 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 Dilworth city earn a median of $89,577 a year, 14.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dilworth city is valued at $268,100, 11.6% below the national figure and 12% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,053 a month, 25.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.4% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
