What it’s like
The place. Cyrus is a very small city in western Minnesota, and most homes there are lived in by their owners. The population skews older than much of the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical, which fits a quiet farm-country community. 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 shops, manufacturing, and transport and warehousing also employing many people. The commute is short, and few people work from home. Across Stevens County, some of the biggest workplaces are the University of Minnesota-Morris, Stevens Community Medical Center and Morris Area Public Schools.
Things to do. Morris Wetland Management District, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Wintermute Lake. Glacial Lakes State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away. Outlet Creek, a river, also lies close by, within a short drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cyrus’ 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 Stevens County.
