Ramsey city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ramsey city is a small city in Minnesota, with 28,070 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Ramsey city earn a median of $112,060 a year, 42.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 48% 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ramsey city is valued at $345,000, 13.7% above the national figure and 44% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,780 a month, 26.6% above the national figure, or roughly $21,360 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
