Robbinsdale city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Robbinsdale city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 14,318 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #77 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 38.3 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 Robbinsdale city earn a median of $84,719 a year, 7.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Robbinsdale city is valued at $280,400, 7.6% below the national figure and 17% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,582 a month, 12.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
