Redby CDP, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Redby CDP is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,175 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #337 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 20.7 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 Redby CDP earn a median of $53,846 a year, 31.4% 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Redby CDP is valued at $109,500, 63.9% below the national figure and 54% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $539 a month, 61.7% below the national figure, or roughly $6,468 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12% 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×, 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. 65.4% 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 20.7 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
