Wilder, MN population, income and ZIP codes

Wilder city is a very small community in Minnesota, with 17 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #903 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 1% of them. The median age here is 69.5 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 Wilder city earn a median of not published a year. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wilder city is valued at $85,000, 72% below the national figure and 65% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 69.5 puts Wilder 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 17 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wilder city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Wilder city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
