Hermantown city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hermantown city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 10,192 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Hermantown city earn a median of $92,026 a year, 17.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 5.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hermantown city is valued at $374,000, 23.3% above the national figure and 56% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,375 a month, 2.2% below the national figure, or roughly $16,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75% 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.
