What it’s like
The place. Kerrick is a city in Pine County, Minnesota, and it is very small, with only a handful of people living there. Winters are long and cold, with heavy snow for much of the year and colder weather than most of the country. Summers are warm, and the town sits in a northern landscape of forests and rivers.

Things to do. Nemadji State Forest is a protected area a short drive away, good for walks among the trees. Willow River and Banning State Park are both a longer drive away, one a river and the other a protected area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kerrick’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Pine County.
