Though some towns are rather affordable in Minnesota, some cities are pricey.

Homesnacks.net conducted a study to evaluate the affordability of Minnesota cities. In conclusion, they created a list of the most costly areas to live in the state.

Before we continue, let's note what data determined the list of expensive towns. 

Researchers at homesnacks.net crunched numbers from the US Census in three major areas: median housing costs, median income, and overall cost of living for cities with over 5,000 residents. 

Thankfully, Owatonna, the town I live, isn't on this list, but a few that did make it surprised me.
