New Brighton city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
New Brighton city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 22,900 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 New Brighton city earn a median of $87,272 a year, 11.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in New Brighton city is valued at $345,900, 14% above the national figure and 44% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,327 a month, 5.6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
