What it’s like
The place. Nevis is a very small city in Hubbard County, Minnesota, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values are well above what the incomes might suggest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures dropping below zero at night, while July is the warmest and pleasantly warm by day. The year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Few people work from home, and the typical trip to work is a moderate one. Across Hubbard County, some of the largest workplaces are Lamb Weston, the Park Rapids Public School District and Walmart.
Things to do. Water is close at hand: Seventh Crow Wing Lake and Sixth Crow Wing Lake are in or beside town, and Ham Lake and Waboose Lake are a short drive away. For a longer outing, Itasca State Park and Lake Itasca are a longer drive away, as is Leech Lake.

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