What it’s like
The place. Gonvick is a very small city in Clearwater County, Minnesota, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here cost less than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and nights well below freezing, while July is pleasantly warm. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops and manufacturing. Across Clearwater County, some of the largest workplaces are TEAM Industries Bagley, which makes transmissions and parts, the Bagley Public School District and RED Lake Indian Hospital. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and unemployment across the county is higher than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Pine Lake and Peterson Lake are both lakes a short drive away, and Ruffy Brook is a river just as close, so fishing and time by the water are easy to come by. For a longer outing, Rydell National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area 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 Gonvick’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Clearwater County.
