What it’s like
The place. Dellwood is a small city in Washington County, Minnesota, where nearly every home is lived in by its owners. Households here earn well above the county's typical income, and few people live below the poverty line. The population is older than in many places, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount through the year.
Work. Many residents work in banks, insurance and property, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in professional and business services. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are the window maker Andersen, the contractor MasTec Utility Services, and South Washington County Schools. A good share of people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. White Bear Lake lies in or beside town, which makes the water the closest outing. The Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Walker Art Center and Target Field are a longer drive away, for an afternoon at a museum or a ball game.

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