Hendrum city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hendrum city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 190 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #698 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Hendrum city earn a median of $53,472 a year, 31.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hendrum city is valued at $131,300, 56.7% below the national figure and 45% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $850 a month, 39.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
