What it’s like
The place. Reynolds is a very small city in Traill County, North Dakota, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes run above the county's, hardly anyone lives below the poverty line, and homes are valued at a moderate level for a place of this size. Winters are cold, with January highs well below freezing, and summers are warm in July; the year brings a modest amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, farming and shops also employing many. Across Traill County, the largest workplaces include American Crystal Sugar Company Hillsboro, Mayville State University and Luther Memorial Home. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and a typical commute is short.
Things to do. A longer drive away, Red River State Recreation Area is a protected area along the river, and Turtle River State Park is another protected area for time outdoors. For something indoors, the North Dakota Museum of Art is a museum, also 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 Reynolds’ 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 Traill County and the Grand Forks, ND-MN metro.
