Property tax · $475/mo 1.14% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Hennepin County, MN
Insurance & upkeep · $535/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn pleasantly warm in July, with rain and melted snow spread across the year.

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