The land area of Minnesota was 79,627 in 2018.

Land Area

Water Area

Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.

Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

    City and Township Population Data

    data.ramseycounty.us | Last Updated 2022-03-21T15:37:41.000Z

    Sources: MN State Demographic Center and the Metropolitan Council. Released August 2020. The Minnesota State Demographic Center (our office) and the Metropolitan Council jointly produce population and household estimates for all years between the U.S. Census Bureau's decennial (10-year) counts.  The Met Council produces the estimates for the seven counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington, as well as all cities and townships within those counties. Our office produces the estimates for the other 80 Minnesota counties outside of the 7-county metro, as well as all cities and townships within those counties. Notes: New estimates are released annually in late July for the prior year. All data are dated to April 1. Persons per household is calculated by dividing the household population by the number of occupied households in any given geography. The household population does not equal the total population because some residents live in "group quarters" settings (such as college dormitories, nursing facilities, shelters, treatment centers, religious orders, military barracks, or correctional facilities), and thus are not living in households.  Cities that cross county boundaries are segmented by each county's portion (labeled "part"), as well as appearing in total under "Multi-County City" in the "COUNTY NAME" column.

    Annual summary of mandatory reportable infectious diseases provided by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). The dataset includes counts of reportable infectious diseases confirmed for residents of the designated geographic area (e.g. Ramsey County, Minnesota, or Metro Region). The Metro Region includes the following counties: Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington Data notes: 1. Beginning in 2010, typhoid fever cases are included in the Salmonellosis category 2. Human Ehrlichiosis E. muris-like was renamed to E. muriseauclairensis in 2018. Reports prior to 2018 use E. muris-like 3. Due to staff being redeployed to the COVID response, no vectorborne disease data is available and only some zoonotic disease data is available for 2020. This includes: Anaplasmosis-Ehrlichiosis, undetermined, Babesiosis, Chikungunya, Dengue, Human Anaplasmosis, Human Ehrlichiosis (2 species), Jamestown Canyon, La Crosse, Lyme Disease, Malaria, Novel Influenza A, Powassan, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Toxoplasmosis, West Nile Virus, Zika Virus 4. Hospitalized influenza cases reported by flu season. For example, 2017 count is from the 2016-17 flu season.

    Comprehensive Beach Water Quality Data

    data.ramseycounty.us | Last Updated 2023-08-30T20:03:04.000Z

    Ramsey County regularly tests beaches for water quality during beach season, from June through August each year. Ramsey County uses the state E. coli water quality standard to identify water bodies that may be contaminated with fecal waste. Higher levels of E. coli in the water may or may not be accompanied by higher levels and an increased risk of harmful bacteria; varying survival rates of bacteria make is impossible to definitively state when these harmful bacteria are present. Two samples are taken from each Ramsey County beach weekly to test E. coli levels.

    City of Flint Distribution System Monitoring Data

    data.michigan.gov | Last Updated 2022-05-13T12:00:19.000Z

    The City of Flint purchases treated water from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and the Genesee County Drain Commissioner (GCDC) and provides further treatment to optimize corrosion control. • Data collected from the City's distribution system helps us know whether the treatment process is working correctly • Some data in the table is informational only • Some data shows whether target ranges for pH, orthophosphate, chlorine, and iron are being met. Other testing that EGLE is doing for the City of Flint is Lead and Copper Sequential Sampling. The four categories shown on the previous page (pH, Orthophosphate, Iron, and Chlorine) are main indicators of whether the City's corrosion control treatment is working properly. In 2017 EGLE set required ranges for pH and orthophosphate. An expanded dataset is available. Visit Michigan.gov/FlintWater for more information.

    Sequential Sampling - City of Flint

    data.michigan.gov | Last Updated 2022-05-27T13:22:53.000Z

    A building's plumbing system and water service line (pipes) can be made up of different types of materials. Each type of material can affect drinking water differently, so it is useful to conduct what is known as "sequential sampling". Sequential sampling is where all water usage in a building is stopped for several hours, known as "stagnation". Next, water is collected from the faucet in a series of bottles. This is done without wasting any water or running the water before filling the bottles. The first few bottles represent water that was in contact with the faucet or building plumbing during stagnation. The later bottles represent water that was in contact with the water service line. These sample results can help decide whether treatment is working. Learn more at Michigan.gov/FlintWater
