Inver Grove Heights, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Inver Grove Heights city is a small city in Minnesota, with 35,772 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #28 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Inver Grove Heights city earn a median of $104,055 a year, 32.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Inver Grove Heights city is valued at $352,300, 16.1% above the national figure and 47% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,447 a month, 2.9% above the national figure, or roughly $17,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.5% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
