What it’s like
The place. Andover is a city in Anoka County where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Home values sit on the higher side by Zillow's estimate, and the city has grown into one of the larger communities in the county.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Some of the largest workplaces in town are Walmart, Target and Andover Elementary. A good number of people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. The Rum River is a short drive away and gives local people a stretch of water to walk beside or paddle. For a longer outing, Target Field is one of the best known ballparks in the region, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a major museum, though both are a longer drive away. Winters are cold and snowy, with a mild, warm summer peak in July.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Andover’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Anoka County and the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro.
