Martin Lake, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Martin Lake CDP is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,203 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #333 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Martin Lake CDP earn a median of $120,705 a year, 53.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 60% above 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Martin Lake CDP is valued at $426,100, 40.4% above the national figure and 77% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,589 a month, 13% above the national figure, or roughly $19,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.2% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
