Little Canada city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Little Canada city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 10,546 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #98 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 40.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Little Canada city earn a median of $71,370 a year, 9.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Little Canada city is valued at $302,600, essentially level with the national figure and 26% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,350 a month, 4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.7% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
