Winthrop city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Winthrop city is a small town in Minnesota, with 1,275 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #321 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 43 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Winthrop city earn a median of $67,375 a year, 14.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Winthrop city is valued at $157,400, 48.1% below the national figure and 35% below the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $732 a month, 47.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 2.3×, 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. 78.6% 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.
