What it’s like

The place. Argyle is a very small city in the farm country of Marshall County, Minnesota, where people tend to know one another and the town is easy to get around. Very few residents live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical of a place with more office work. Winters are long and cold, with a good deal of snow, and summers are warm.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, farming and shops also employing many people. Across Marshall County, the largest workplaces include the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo school district, North Star Manor and North Valley Health Center. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year earlier, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Commutes are short, and a fair number of people work from home.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Old Mill State Park is the best known nearby protected area, and Lake Bronson State Park is another; both are a longer drive away. The Turtle River, also a longer drive away, is a river to visit as well. The region is open and rural, and these places are where most people go for trails, water and quiet.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Argyle’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Marshall County.
