Essig, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Essig CDP is a very small community in Minnesota, with 49 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #863 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 28.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Essig CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 24.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Essig CDP is valued at $162,500, 46.4% below the national figure and 32% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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 28.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 49 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Essig CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Essig CDP 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.
