Iona city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Iona city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 207 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #682 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Iona city earn a median of $44,167 a year, 43.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% below 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Iona city is valued at $54,300, 82.1% below the national figure and 77% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $750 a month, 46.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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 1.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 85.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
