Kenyon city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kenyon city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,811 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #277 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 41.1 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 Kenyon city earn a median of $74,643 a year, 5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kenyon city is valued at $184,500, 39.2% below the national figure and 23% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $854 a month, 39.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.7% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 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. 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.
