Montgomery, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Montgomery city is a small town in Minnesota, with 3,366 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #200 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Montgomery city earn a median of $74,018 a year, 5.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Montgomery city is valued at $218,900, 27.9% below the national figure and 9% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $896 a month, 36.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
