Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Minneapolis city. Up 61% since 2014. King Field is 2% below the 2024 city median.
Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Bungalows, a commercial strip, and a south-side family default between Whittier and Minnehaha Creek. Quiet enough for a weeknight, close enough to Eat Street for a Thursday. This is the neighborhood people move to when the Wedge gets loud.
Houses, alleys, a park. Downtown is a bus or a bike on the Greenway. Weight family and schools. Nightlife is a short ride north, on purpose.
