Pine Island city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pine Island city is a small town in Minnesota, with 3,693 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #188 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Pine Island city earn a median of $91,612 a year, 16.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% above 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pine Island city is valued at $324,700, 7% above the national figure and 35% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $959 a month, 31.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,508 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.6% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.5% 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.
