What it’s like
The place. Egan is a very small city in Moody County, South Dakota, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes are lower than across the county, and a somewhat larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical of many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in the building trades, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Moody County, some of the largest workplaces are Flandreau School District, Dakota Layers, and Avera Flandreau Hospital. Unemployment in the county is low and a little lower than a year ago, though the county has about the same number of jobs as before, slightly fewer.
Things to do. Flandreau Creek, a river, is a short drive away, and makes a handy spot for time outdoors. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Pipestone National Monument, an archaeological site, and to Split Rock Creek State Park, a protected area. Palisades State Park, also a protected area, is another longer drive from town.

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 Moody County.
