| Duluth Mayor Emily Larson, flanked by other community leaders, discusses the city's census results on the steps of city hall on Sept. 22.Dan Kraker | MPR News |
By Dan Kraker
There's been a lot of positive buzz around Duluth recently — tourist numbers are soaring, the city's outdoor scene has gotten lots of national press. Yet despite all that enthusiasm, the population has barely budged in 20 years, while many other midsize cities in Minnesota are growing.
The 2020 census results, which were delayed until this summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic, found that Duluth did grow — just not by very much. The city has added 432 people since 2010. Still, Larson called it a victory for Duluth.
That equates to a growth rate of about .5 percent since 2010, much lower than other regional centers around Minnesota. By comparison, Rochester grew at a 14 percent clip, St. Cloud by 5 percent and Moorhead by 17 percent.
So why has Duluth's population growth barely budged in thee past 20 years? | |

From Associated Press
A federal grand jury has indicted a Minnesota man on charges of murder and other counts in the July killing of a Red Lake tribal officer who was fatally shot while responding to a call on the tribe's reservation.
David Donnell Jr., 28, was indicted on 11 counts, including first-degree murder and multiple counts of assault with intent to murder, prosecutors announced Thursday. He had previously been charged in federal court with a lesser murder count in connection with the death of Officer Ryan Bialke.
Bialke was killed on July 27 after he and four other officers went to Donnell’s home in Redby on a report of a suicidal male with children possibly in the residence, according to the Red Lake Department of Public Safety. | |
