The racial makeup of the town was 99.02% White, 0.03% African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.39% Asian, and 0.36% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.16% of the population.
There were 978 households, out of which 38.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 75.1% were married couples living together, 5.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.1% were non-families. 12.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.77 and the average family size was 3.01.
In the town, the population was spread out, with 24.1% under the age of 18, 5.5% from 18 to 24, 25.9% from 25 to 44, 25.6% from 45 to 64, and 18.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females, there were 99.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.2 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $54,250, and the median income for a family was $56,250. Males had a median income of $35,473 versus $24,922 for females. The per capita income for the town was $19,421. About 3.7% of families and 5.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 5.4% of those under age 18 and 8.9% of those age 65 or over.
The first settlers in this area settled along the Chippewa River. In 1848, when the first surveyors passed through for the U.S. government, they found few "improvements" in the land away from the river, but along the river they noted a number of settlers, in what would become the town of Eagle Point. For the 6-mile (10 km) square that includes the part of Eagle Point below modern Jim Falls, the surveyor wrote this general description:
