Osakis city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Osakis city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,667 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #289 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 45.7 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 Osakis city earn a median of $53,684 a year, 31.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Osakis city is valued at $169,200, 44.2% below the national figure and 30% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 61.9% 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.
The Census withheld gross rent for Osakis 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.
