Lindstrom city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lindstrom city is a small town in Minnesota, with 4,933 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Lindstrom city earn a median of $99,844 a year, 27.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lindstrom city is valued at $336,800, 11% above the national figure and 40% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $954 a month, 32.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.5% 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. 86.1% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
