Bird Island, MN Real Estate

Bird Island is a city located on U.S. Highway 212 in Renville County, Minnesota about an hour and a half drive west of Minneapolis - St. Paul. WTCN-11 weather forecaster Barry ZeVann (Minneapolis NBC affilitate) often listed the temperature in tiny Bird Island during his weather forecasts in the 1970's.

The city is named for a nearby 60-acre (243,000 m ) island. At one time, the island was surrounded by sloughs and covered with many huge, beautiful trees, which were a refuge for thousands of birds. After the installation of ditches and tile the area was converted to farmland, erasing the town's namesake.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.0 km (1.5 mi ), all land.

As of the census 2 of 2000, there were 1,195 people, 499 households, and 303 families residing in the city. The population density was 299.6/km (773.6/mi ). There were 530 housing units at an average density of 132.9/km (343.1/mi ). The racial makeup of the city was 96.82% White, 0.25% Native American, 0.33% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 1.09% from other races, and 1.42% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.59% of the population.
