What it’s like
The place. Eden is a small town in Marshall County, in the northeast corner of South Dakota, where most people know one another. Winters are colder than in most of the country, with snow on the ground for much of the season, while summers are warm and bring the most rain. Homes here are typically valued well above the county's typical home, and few residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, or in schools, hospitals and social care. Manufacturing and the building trades also employ people from the town. Very few people work from home, so most daily work takes place away from the house.
Things to do. Piyas Lake and Clear Lake are both a short drive away and are popular places for being out on the water. Fort Sisseton, a historic fort, is also a short drive away and suits a slower day of looking around. Waubay National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is a longer drive away, so it is best for a planned outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Eden’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. 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 Marshall County.
