How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Minneapolis, MN. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Minneapolis compares. Among the 80 largest places in Minnesota, Minneapolis is #1 by population, #78 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #10 for remote work (#1 = most), #11 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Hennepin County, is #1 of 87 counties for average pay ($90,157).

The place in numbers

Minneapolis has 427,246 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 7.4% of the population of Minnesota. It covers 54 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 7,912 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 14% younger than the state median (33.4 against 38.8).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,371 a month (rent plus utilities), 7% above the state median ($1,371 against $1,280). Over a year that is 20.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $362,200, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($80,846). 47.7% of households own their home, 34% below the state average (47.7% against 72.2%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metropolitan area has 1,951,650 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $59,320 a year, 16% above the national median ($59,320 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (214,110 jobs, median $52,920); sales and related (165,000 jobs, median $43,520); food preparation and serving related (160,260 jobs, median $35,000). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (1.3 times) and healthcare support (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($132,590) and legal ($110,530). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Hennepin County was 4.7%. 72.8% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Hennepin County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 51.9% drive alone, 6.8% use public transit, 5.8% walk, 26.2% work from home. 7.4% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 30% below the state average (7.4% against 10.5%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

55.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 41% above the state share (55.5% against 39.4%). 13.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 58% above the state share (13.7% against 8.7%). The poverty rate is 16.0%, 72% above the state rate (16.0% against 9.3%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 73°F (22.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 13°F (-10.6°C). About 840 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (130 mm) and Jan the driest (18 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Golden Valley (5 miles, rent 30% higher); St. Louis Park (5 miles, rent 20% higher); Robbinsdale (5 miles, rent 28% higher); Columbia Heights (6 miles, rent 6% lower). Rent differences are against Minneapolis; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
