Glencoe city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Glencoe city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 5,702 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #139 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 37.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Glencoe city earn a median of $63,967 a year, 18.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glencoe city is valued at $213,100, 29.8% below the national figure and 11% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $901 a month, 35.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,812 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.
