Who lives in Midway Township, Minnesota
Part of the Midway Township neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Midway is the most owner-occupied place in this guide by a wide margin, and its household profile follows directly from that. In the 2023 five-year estimates, 96.2 percent of occupied units are owner-occupied and 97.1 percent of the housing stock is single-family detached, with a further 2.2 percent manufactured on private land.
Median household income is $100,407, which is well above the Duluth citywide figure and reflects a township of working households who have chosen a longer commute for more land. The largest employment destinations are Proctor, the Duluth industrial and port economy, the Miller Hill medical and retail corridor, and Hermantown.
Rental housing is close to nonexistent at about twenty households, which means anyone wanting to try the area before committing has very little to rent. That is a genuine practical barrier and worth knowing in advance.
Household sizes run larger than the Duluth average, which is what the housing implies: these are family houses on family-sized land, with very little small or single-person stock. Turnover is low. People who buy here tend to stay, and the properties that come up are often generational rather than transactional.
