What it’s like
The place. Mound is a city on the western side of Hennepin County, close to Lake Minnetonka. The people who live here are older than in most places, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and winters are cold and snowy, with warm summers and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Many adults hold a four-year degree, and a good number work from home. The commute is on the long side, and across Hennepin County some of the largest workplaces are the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Hennepin County itself, and Target.
Things to do. Lake Minnetonka is a short drive away, and it is the nearest place for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center, both museums, and to Saint Anthony Falls, a waterfall on the Mississippi.

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