What it’s like

The place. Edgeley is a small city in LaMoure County, North Dakota, with a population small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are very cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, farming and manufacturing. Across LaMoure County, some of the largest workplaces are the Lamoure 8 Schools district, Benedictine, an assisted-living facility with on-site nursing, and the Edgeley 3 Schools district. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.

Things to do. For time outdoors, the Kulm Wetland Management District and the Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge are both protected areas, each a longer drive away. The Maple River National Wildlife Refuge is another protected area in the same longer-drive range. For an evening out, the Ellendale Opera House is a theatre, 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 Edgeley’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 LaMoure County.
