Hokah city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hokah city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 673 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #433 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 32.1 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 Hokah city earn a median of $60,313 a year, 23.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hokah city is valued at $184,900, 39.1% below the national figure and 23% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $911 a month, 35.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,932 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
