Mapleton city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mapleton city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,745 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #281 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Mapleton city earn a median of $82,031 a year, 4.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mapleton city is valued at $176,400, 41.9% below the national figure and 27% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $772 a month, 45.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.3% 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 2.2×, 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. 76.7% 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.
Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
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.
