Living in Saginaw



Saginaw is a somewhat small town located in the state of Minnesota. With a population of 7,065 people and two associated neighborhoods, Saginaw is the 125th largest community in Minnesota.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.02% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Saginaw is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Saginaw’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Saginaw has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Saginaw has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Saginaw than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Saginaw may be for you.

Being a small town, Saginaw does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The overall education level of Saginaw is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 25.92% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Saginaw in 2022 was $42,451, which is upper middle income relative to Minnesota and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $169,804 for a family of four. However, Saginaw contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

The people who call Saginaw home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Saginaw residents report their race to be White, followed by Native American. Important ancestries of people in Saginaw include German, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Irish.

The most common language spoken in Saginaw is English. Other important languages spoken here include Italian and Spanish.
