What it’s like
The place. Holland is a very small city in southwestern Minnesota, with few residents and a quiet, rural feel. Most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented, and typical home values sit at a level many homeowners would find modest. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and precipitation through the year is moderate.
Work. Residents of Holland work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, farming and the building trades also well represented. Across Pipestone County, some of the largest workplaces are JBS Swift Pork Company Pipestone, the Pipestone Area School District and Pipestone County Medical Center. A four-year degree is held by fewer adults here than is typical, and the usual trip to work is a moderate drive.
Things to do. Pipestone National Monument, an archaeological site, is a short drive away, as is the Redwood River. A longer drive brings you to Blue Mounds State Park, a protected area, and to Lake Shetek State Park, another of the region's protected areas, where there is lake shoreline to enjoy.

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