The people of the Northland are hardworking, honest and educated.
Crime rates are low and neighborly acts of kindness are high.
Part of the attraction of Duluth is the amazing quality of life. The area has it all, with an abundance of beauty and outdoor recreation available all year round, and the excitement of night-life, cultural events and family oriented activities enjoyed in larger metropolitan areas. Duluth's growing economy and progressive ideas make it a diverse and desirable place to operate a business in a slower paced and more satisfying environment. The city of Duluth works aggressively in partnership with other organizations to bring new and expanded job opportunities to the area. Duluth has a large tourist trade, and people may be surprised to learn that Duluth welcomes more tourists every year than Aspen, Colorado.
