Since the year of 2000, the population has increased by 5,000, and it currently stands at 11,500. This rapid growth is due to the exciting and active community that has formed within the city as well as it’s increasingly desirable location due to the development of the surrounding cities.

The two main routes through the city are MN State Highways 5 and 284, which connect with Interstate 494 to the east, and U.S. Highway 212 to the south.
