A map of the state of Minnesota shaded into seven regions, labeled with results of a reader survey. The northeastern Minnesota region, including Duluth, the Boundary Waters and North Shore, is the most popular with 70.4% of reader votes. The other regions are: the Twin Cities metro; southwest MN; southeast MN; a swath of south-central Minnesota including St. Cloud and Twin Cities exurbs, including Lake Minnetonka; and north-central Minnesota, including the Brainerd Lakes Area and Hinckley; northwestern MN — which is the second most popular region with 12% of reader votes. The rest of the regions were chosen with single-digit shares of reader votes.
