Elysian city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Elysian city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 663 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #438 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 42.7 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 Elysian city earn a median of $98,571 a year, 25.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Elysian city is valued at $295,700, 2.5% below the national figure and 23% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,110 a month, 21.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.1% 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.
