What it’s like
The place. Eagle Bend is a very small city in Todd County, Minnesota, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Residents are younger than in many small towns, and household incomes run below the county's. Winters are long, cold and snowy, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Todd County, some of the largest workplaces are Lakewood Health System, which runs a hospital and nursing care, and Dan's Prize, a processed meats maker. Few adults in town hold a four-year degree, and commutes tend to be fairly long.
Things to do. Lake Carlos State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and it is the best known of the nearby places. Horseshoe Lake is a lake a longer drive away, and the Leaf River is a river also a longer drive away. Each suits a day trip for anyone who enjoys time by the water or outdoors.

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