Morris city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Morris city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 5,092 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #147 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 31.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Morris city earn a median of $63,807 a year, 18.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 15.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morris city is valued at $185,200, 39% below the national figure and 23% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $841 a month, 40.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,092 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
