Little Rock CDP, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Little Rock CDP is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,075 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #356 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 23.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Little Rock CDP earn a median of $51,719 a year, 34.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 32.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Little Rock CDP is valued at $34,100, 88.8% below the national figure and 86% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $499 a month, 64.5% below the national figure, or roughly $5,988 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.6% 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 0.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 77.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 23.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
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.
