The boundary sets the resident district, not eligibility: under open enrollment a student may apply to a school in another district (Minn. Stat. § 124D.03).

Main filters
Lot size (acres)
County assessed land value

A county figure for the land alone, not an asking price. Lots without one are left out when a value is set.

“By water” means the parcel sits in a DNR lake/shoreland area — not necessarily lakefront. “Wooded” is measured tree canopy from the 2015 UMN 1-m dataset (modeled; conditions may have changed).

Setting
Backs to

Computed from county parcel and map data: what lies behind each lot’s rear line, its street, its neighbours’ years built and its shape; walkout and slope from MN DNR LiDAR elevation (a builder rule of thumb, not a survey). Screening only; a lot the data cannot settle is left out of a setting filter rather than guessed.

Lot types shown

Showing lots of 0.15 acres and up, outside known commercial, industrial and public zoning districts.

Zoomed out, each circle is one city and its number is that city’s whole-city total; zoom in for the individual sites. Grey circles are cities we haven’t loaded yet — their number is the county’s own count of vacant or near-zero-value parcels, which we have not screened.
