Housing and commuting evidence

Minneapolis housing data.

Fifteen Census datasets to help you understand housing costs, the local housing stock and journeys to work. Inspect the numbers, check their limits and download the records.

Observation period: 2020 to 2024. These are historical survey estimates, not live listings, current market rents or Homzora survey results. Every table retains published estimates and 90 percent margins of error. Read each table's population and limitations before comparing values.

Geographic coverage: Minneapolis city, Minnesota (city). Neighborhoods on the hub are not individually measured here.
