Spring Lake Park city, MN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Spring Lake Park city is a mid-size town in Minnesota, with 6,997 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #127 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 39.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Spring Lake Park city earn a median of $77,112 a year, 1.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Spring Lake Park city is valued at $281,800, 7.1% below the national figure and 17% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,375 a month, 2.2% below the national figure, or roughly $16,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.3% 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.
