What it’s like
The place. Warren is a small city and the seat of Marshall County, in the flat farmland of northwest Minnesota. It is a place where the typical commute is short, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and winters are long and hard, with January the coldest month and a warm stretch in July.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and farming also providing a good share of jobs. Among the largest workplaces in Warren are the Warren-alvarado-oslo School Dist, North Star Manor and the Marshall County Courthouse. Unemployment across Marshall County is higher than a year ago, and the county has lost a few jobs over the past year.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Old Mill State Park is a protected area, and Red Lake River is a river, both a longer drive away. Red River State Recreation Area is another protected area, also a longer drive away, for those who want more green space. Only a small share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the area's pace is quiet and rural.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Warren’s 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 Marshall County and the Grand Forks, ND-MN metro.
