Minnesota has 77 registered food trucks across 881 ZIP codes, serving a population of 5.7 Million. Median household income averages $78,457, close to the national median.

Mixed picture. The 53/100 state average covers a wide spread: a few standout ZIP codes, a lot of middling ones. Competition runs about 0.1 businesses per ZIP. Location selection matters more here than in higher-scoring states.

Permit and licensing fees in Minnesota average $3,940 per year across the cities we track. These are annual totals covering business license, health permit, and mobile vendor fees, pulled from municipal fee schedules — not estimates.
