Eagan city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Eagan city is a small city in Minnesota, with 68,158 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Eagan city earn a median of $107,486 a year, 36.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Eagan city is valued at $380,800, 25.5% above the national figure and 58% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,604 a month, 14.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
