What it’s like
The place. Jordan is a small city in Scott County, Minnesota, with a younger population than most places and homes that are mostly lived in by their owners. Household incomes run somewhat below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than in many communities. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; precipitation is moderate through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Jordan are SM Hentges & Sons, an overpass construction firm, Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative, which distributes electric power, and Oak Terrace Senior Housing of Jordan, an assisted-living facility. Commutes are fairly long, and a share of people work from home.
Things to do. For a day out, the Minnesota Zoo is a longer drive away, as is Lake Minnetonka, a lake. Art lovers can head to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a museum, also 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 Jordan’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Scott County and the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro.
