What it’s like
The place. Grant is a small city where nearly every home is lived in by its owners, and it has far fewer renters than most places. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and homes here are valued well above what is typical across much of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and the building trades close behind. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are South Washington County Schools, Andersen, and MasTec Utility Services. The usual commute is a moderate one, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county has risen a little over the past year.
Things to do. For a day out, the Saint Croix River is the nearest natural draw, a river that is a longer drive away. Saint Anthony Falls, a waterfall on the Mississippi, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a museum, are also a longer drive away. Winters here are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, so the river is best enjoyed in the milder months.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Grant’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 Washington County and the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro.
