The quick read
Reading Eagan, MN beyond the headline numbers
Eagan sits inside Dakota County, Minnesota, at roughly 44.80°N, -93.17°W. Population 66,286, $108,690 median household income. Median home value $397,100, median rent $1,679. Poverty rate 5.9%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.

The median home in Eagan costs roughly 3.7 times median household income, below the midpoint for reporting cities, so ownership remains reachable on a typical local wage.
23.9% of Eagan workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.
