Duluth is the seat of St. Louis County. According to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2024 5-year), the city has about 87,100 residents, the median home was built in 1951 and about 43% of homes were built in 1939 or earlier.

About 72% of occupied homes heat with utility gas, so most Duluth generators run on natural gas; the installer still checks that the meter can feed the generator at full output.

The 2022-23 winter set Duluth's all-time seasonal snowfall record at 140.1 inches, with 44.9 inches in December alone (Minnesota DNR State Climatology Office).
