Oak Park Heights, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Oak Park Heights city is a small town in Minnesota, with 4,782 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #158 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 51.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Oak Park Heights city earn a median of $84,639 a year, 7.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oak Park Heights city is valued at $333,600, 10% above the national figure and 39% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,428 a month, 1.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,136 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 49.5% 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.

A median age of 51.7 puts Oak Park Heights city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
