Pierz city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pierz city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,581 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #296 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Pierz city earn a median of $55,438 a year, 29.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pierz city is valued at $155,700, 48.7% below the national figure and 35% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $786 a month, 44.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
