Hackensack, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Hackensack city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 302 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #606 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 45.8 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 Hackensack city earn a median of $32,109 a year, 59.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 57% below 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hackensack city is valued at $159,400, 47.5% below the national figure and 34% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $756 a month, 46.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,072 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
