Emily city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Emily city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 659 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #439 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 62.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Emily city earn a median of $73,563 a year, 6.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Emily city is valued at $344,700, 13.6% above the national figure and 43% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 98.4% 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.

A median age of 62.2 puts Emily city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 659 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Emily city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Emily city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
