Orr, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Orr city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 391 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #563 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 27.7 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 Orr city earn a median of $92,759 a year, 18.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orr city is valued at $88,400, 70.9% below the national figure and 63% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $833 a month, 40.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.8% 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×, 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. 77.9% 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.

A median age of 27.7 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. Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
