EMF Exposure in Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis ranks #1 of 1 Minnesota cities for EMF exposure. Lower score = less exposure.
With an EMF exposure score of 86 out of 100, Minneapolis demonstrates very high electromagnetic field levels driven by its substantial cellular infrastructure of 689 total towers, including 29 5G installations across the metropolitan area. The city's tower density of 12.8 per square mile creates significant variation in exposure levels, with EMF scores ranging from 18 to 100 depending on location. As the sole major city analyzed in Minnesota, Minneapolis serves as the primary reference point for understanding urban EMF exposure patterns within the state.

Minneapolis has very high EMF exposure with a score of 86, nearly double the national median of 45, which puts it among the most electromagnetically active cities nationwide. As the only Minnesota city currently tracked in EMF databases, it represents the state average by default, but this likely reflects its status as the largest urban center with dense cellular infrastructure and electronic activity. For those concerned about EMF exposure, smaller Minnesota communities outside the Twin Cities metro area would likely offer significantly lower electromagnetic field levels.
