Long Lake city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Long Lake city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,710 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #284 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Long Lake city earn a median of $95,972 a year, 22.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 27% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Long Lake city is valued at $391,400, 29% above the national figure and 63% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,613 a month, 14.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69% 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.
