Minneapolis Metro and Neighborhood Information

Minneapolis and St. Paul form the core of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It is the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the country, with more than 3 million residents. The Twin Cities area ranks among the country's most desirable places to live, offering exceptional cultural, social and recreational opportunities.

The Twin Cities has long been noted for its tremendous spirit of civic cooperation. Private corporations and foundations often join with government and community organizations to improve and expand the resources available to the community. For seven consecutive years, Morgan Quitno, a national publishing and research company, named Minnesota as the nation's 'most livable state.'

Nicknamed the City of Lakes, Minneapolis is abundantly rich in water with twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi riverfront, and creeks and waterfalls, many of which are connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway.

Minneapolis is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle.

Minneapolis-St. Paul ranks fifth in the U.S. for the percentage of the population with a bachelor's degree or higher education.

The community's diverse population also has a long tradition of charitable support through progressive public social programs and private and corporate philanthropy.

Smaller components are in publishing, milling, food processing, graphic arts, insurance and technology. The city is also home to five Fortune 500 headquarters, including Target Corporation, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise Financial and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
