North Oaks city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

North Oaks city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 5,175 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #145 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 43.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 North Oaks city earn a median of $235,858 a year, 200.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 213% 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 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Oaks city is valued at $756,300, 149.3% above the national figure and 215% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,932 a month, 108.5% above the national figure, or roughly $35,184 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.4% 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.
