Oklee, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Oklee city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 432 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #539 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 41 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Oklee city earn a median of $56,667 a year, 27.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 18.9% 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 Oklee city is valued at $108,500, 64.2% below the national figure and 55% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $583 a month, 58.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 1.9×, 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. 78.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
