Kensington city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kensington city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 267 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #631 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 42.5 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 Kensington city earn a median of $48,125 a year, 38.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 13.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kensington city is valued at $96,500, 68.2% below the national figure and 60% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 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. 82% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 267 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Kensington city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Kensington city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
