Apple Valley, MN demographics: median age 39.0; 45.9% of adults 25+ hold a bachelor’s degree. Age, race, households, languages and education, ACS 2020–2024 with margins of error.

ACS 2020–2024 · Apple Valley city, Minnesota · Incorporated city · GEOID 2701900. The survey estimates a population of 55,679 for its five-year window. This is separate from the annual July 2025 population estimate on the city overview.

Median age in Apple Valley is 39.0 years, with a 90% margin of error of 1.2 years. There are 21,627 households (±512). Age and household distributions show how these totals are composed; they do not establish which neighborhood suits a particular person.

Every count and share is an estimate. “±” is a 90% margin of error (MOE); pp means percentage points. Derived shares use the category count divided by the named universe. Aggregated category MOEs and percentage MOEs are approximate. A margin larger than half its estimate is flagged as low precision. Blank source uncertainty is shown as unavailable, never zero.
