What it’s like
The place. Eyota is a small city in Olmsted County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Residents tend to be a little older than in many places, and household incomes run below the county's. A good number of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy while summers turn pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and banking, insurance and property also employing many. Within Eyota itself, the largest workplaces include B and C Plumbing and Heating, the City of Eyota and Higgins Custom Cabinetry. Many people travel a fair way to their jobs, and a small share work from home.
Things to do. Bear Creek runs in or beside town, and Carley State Park and Whitewater State Park are both a short drive away for time outdoors. For something indoors, the Rochester Art Center, a museum, is 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 Eyota’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 Olmsted County and the Rochester, MN metro.
