What it’s like
The place. Frazee is a small Minnesota city in Becker County, with a population that is young compared with most of the country. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing local people. The largest workplaces in town include the Frazee-Vergas Public School District, Anderson Bus Company of Frazee and the City of Frazee. Across Becker County, jobs grew modestly last year, though unemployment is higher than it was a year earlier, and most people have a fairly short commute.
Things to do. Several lakes lie a short drive away, including Detroit Lake and Five Lake, which suit time on the water in the warmer months. For a longer outing, Maplewood State Park, a protected area, and the Pelican River are a longer drive away. Winters are very cold and snowy, with summers that turn pleasantly warm.

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