What it’s like
The place. Champlin is a city of homeowners, with far more people living in homes they own than in rented ones. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect in a metro suburb. Residents are middle-aged on the whole, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Some of the biggest workplaces in town are Egan Company, an electrical contractor, Target, and Cardinal Health, which distributes medical supplies. Commutes are of middling length, and a fair number of people work from home. Unemployment is higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. The Rum River runs in or beside town, so there is water close at hand. Farther afield, Lake Minnetonka is a longer drive away, as is the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a museum. Target Field, a stadium, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Champlin’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 Hennepin County and the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro.
