Lilydale, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Lilydale city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 752 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #411 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 73.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lilydale city earn a median of $93,393 a year, 18.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 24% above 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lilydale city is valued at $389,300, 28.3% above the national figure and 62% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,359 a month, 67.8% above the national figure, or roughly $28,308 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 52.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 73.6 puts Lilydale city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 752 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lilydale city against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
