Greater Grand Forks
The Greater Grand Forks (officially the Grand Forks, ND-MN Metropolitan statistical area), as defined by the Census Bureau as comprising all of Grand Forks County in North Dakota and Polk County in Minnesota, anchored by the twin cities of Grand Forks, North Dakota and East Grand Forks, Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 104,362 and was estimated to be 104,184 in 2024.
The metropolitan area is also sometimes called The Forks. Several years ago, local promoters attempted to "brand" the metropolitan area as The Grand Cities. This name has not found widespread use in the area, although several buildings and organizations now bear the "Grand Cities" title. Occasionally, the city of Grand Forks uses the nickname "The Sunflake City."
As of the 2020 census, there were 104,362 people, 43,192 households, and 24,038 families residing in the MSA. The population density was 30.63 inhabitants per square mile (11.8/km2). There were 48,051 housing units at an average density of 14.1 per square mile (5.4/km2). The racial makeup of the MSA was 83.64% White, 3.87% African American, 2.17% Native American, 2.54% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 1.55% from some other races and 6.16% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 5.42% of the population.
According to the 2006–2008 American Community Survey, the top ten European ancestry groups were the following:
The Grand Forks Public Schools system serves Grand Forks and Grand Forks Air Force Base. The district consists of 12 elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, an alternative high school, an adult learning center, and a Head Start program.
The East Grand Forks School District serves East Grand Forks and the surrounding rural areas. The district consists of two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school.
The Crookston School District 593 serves Crookston and the surrounding rural areas. The district consists of two elementary schools and a high school.
In Grand Forks, St. Michael's Catholic Church and Holy Family Catholic Church both have Catholic elementary schools. There are no Catholic middle or high schools in Grand Forks, but East Grand Forks is home to Sacred Heart Catholic Church's school, which educates from kindergarten through the 12th grade. East Grand Forks is also home to Riverside Christian School, a nondenominational elementary school.
