What it’s like
The place. Hallock is a small city in the far northwest corner of Minnesota, the seat of Kittson County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run below the county's. Commutes are short, and some residents work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Across Kittson County, some of the largest workplaces are Kittson Memorial Hospital, Kittson Central School District and CHS, which processes soybeans and other oilseeds. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Little Joe River is a short drive away. Lake Bronson State Park, a protected area, and the Pembina State Museum are each a longer drive. Winters are very cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, so many outings are best planned for the warmer months.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hallock’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 Kittson County.
