Greater Minnesota

"How is Greater Minnesota doing?" That's the question that the new report, Greater Minnesota: Revisited and Refined, by the Minnesota State Demographic Center strives to answer. This data-rich report looks at the makeup of Minnesota's rural areas and small and large towns and compares their demographics to Minnesota's urban areas and the state as a whole. One interesting set of data compares occupations. As to be expected, workers in rural areas are far more likely to work in the agricultural, forestry, fishing and hunting, and mining industry than residents of other areas. However, even though agriculture plays a large role in rural Minnesota, the most common employment, at 23% of the population, is in educational services, and health care and social assistance.

Another look at Greater Minnesota was recently released by the McKnight Foundation. Its "Food for Thought" project challenges the commonly held assumption that our rural areas are not thriving. The author, Jay Walljasper, visited the various regions of the state and found that, while they face hurdles, the residents and civic leaders are rising to the challenges with new and innovative initiatives. 

The complete "Food for Thought" covering four regions of Greater Minnesota:

Small Towns, Big Ideas: Reimagining Southeast Minnesota

Northeast Minnesota: New Possibilities in the North Country

North by Northwest: Rural Resilience in Northwest and North Central Minnesota

Still Thriving: The Changing Face of Southwest and South Central Minnesota
