Vergas, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Vergas city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 241 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #650 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 55.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Vergas city earn a median of $85,000 a year, 8.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above the $75,469 median for the 361 Minnesota cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vergas city is valued at $163,700, 46% below the national figure and 32% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $617 a month, 56.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 8.7% 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 1.9×, 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. 75.7% 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 55.5 puts Vergas city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 241 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Vergas city against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
