Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Minnesota

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the Twin Cities metro area display notable internal variation, with suburban rings averaging household sizes of 2.8–3.2 while core urban zip codes in Minneapolis and St. Paul drop to 1.5–2.0, reflecting higher concentrations of single-person and non-family households. Northern Minnesota, particularly the Arrowhead region and areas near the Iron Range, trends toward smaller household sizes (1.8–2.2), likely driven by aging populations and smaller communities. Pockets of elevated household size (3.0+) appear in rural western and south-central Minnesota, as well as in a distinct cluster in the north-central region near Bemidji and Red Lake, consistent with areas with younger families or tribal communities with larger household compositions.
