Woodbury city, MN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Woodbury city is a small city in Minnesota, with 76,945 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #8 of 914 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Woodbury city earn a median of $126,222 a year, 60.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 67% 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 4.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodbury city is valued at $434,900, 43.3% above the national figure and 81% above the $240,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,827 a month, 29.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78% 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.
