Little Falls city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Little Falls city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 9,094 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 41.4 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 Falls city earn a median of $46,284 a year, 41.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 16.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Little Falls city is valued at $198,100, 34.7% below the national figure and 18% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $740 a month, 47.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,880 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
