Methodology, coverage, and limitations
Population, households, and median household income are direct American Community Survey 5-year estimates for the incorporated place of Edina. The trend compares rolling ACS estimates from 2015–2024; overlapping ACS windows are useful for broad direction, not precise year-to-year change.
Traffic figures are individual MnDOT AADT measurement locations within the current Census incorporated-place boundary, using 2025 data. They are not a citywide vehicle total, pedestrian count, sales forecast, or proof of visibility at every address.
Nearby-business and transit counts use point records inside the same city boundary. They describe available mapped records, not every business or stop in the market. Building permits are shown only as Hennepin County context and are not attributed to Edina alone.
