New London city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
New London city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,156 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #340 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 New London city earn a median of $66,830 a year, 14.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in New London city is valued at $209,300, 31% below the national figure and 13% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $960 a month, 31.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.4% 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.
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.
