What it’s like
The place. Hendricks is a small city on the western edge of Minnesota, and its residents skew older, with a median age well above what is typical for the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying below freezing, while July brings warm summer days.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and farming also employing many. Across Lincoln County, the largest workplaces include Hendricks Public School District and Hendricks Community Hospital Assoc, along with RTR Public Schools. The typical commute is short, and few people work from home. Lincoln County has seen slightly fewer jobs than a year earlier, and unemployment there is somewhat higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Water is close at hand. The Lac qui Parle River runs in or beside town, and Lake Hendricks sits there too, good for a walk or a quiet afternoon on the shore. A short drive away are Oak Lake, Fish Lake and Lake Shaokatan, while Hartford Beach State Park is 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 Hendricks’ 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 Lincoln County.
