Ogema, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Ogema city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 233 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #655 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 28.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Ogema city earn a median of $51,875 a year, 33.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below 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 34.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ogema city is valued at $82,500, 72.8% below the national figure and 66% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 61% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 28.2 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 233 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ogema city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Ogema city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
