What it’s like
The place. Centerville is a small city in Anoka County, Minnesota, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in and few households live below the poverty line. Household incomes run well above the county's, and residents are somewhat older than in many places, with a good share holding a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Anoka County, the largest workplaces include the Anoka-Hennepin School District, Mercy Hospital and Anoka County itself. A fair number of people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year.
Things to do. Several places for a day out are a longer drive away. Among them are the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a museum, and Target Field, a stadium where baseball is played. Saint Anthony Falls, a waterfall on the Mississippi River, is also a longer drive away.

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.
