Who lives in Canosia Township and Pike Lake, Minnesota
Part of the Canosia Township and Pike Lake neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Canosia is a high-ownership rural township with a household profile shaped by the lakes and by the employment to its south.
In the 2023 five-year estimates, 89.8 percent of occupied units are owner-occupied against 10.2 percent rented, and 87.1 percent of the housing stock is single-family detached with a further 9.1 percent manufactured on private land. Median household income is $89,167, well above the Duluth citywide figure.
Employment runs south and southeast: the airport and Cirrus Aircraft immediately southeast, Hermantown's commercial and medical employers, the Miller Hill corridor, and Duluth itself at about twenty-two minutes. This is a commuter township, but a short-commute one.
The rental population of about 10.2 percent is small but not negligible, and larger than Midway's, which reflects both seasonal and lake-adjacent property. The median gross rent of $891 is lower than the citywide figure and sits on a modest sample, so treat it as indicative rather than precise.
Household sizes run larger than the Duluth average, consistent with family houses on family-sized land. Turnover is low, and on the lakes especially, properties often move within families rather than through the market.
