Reading the Eagan data for electrical

Eagan is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 67,109 people (2025 estimate), down just 2.5% since 2020^[2]. The city spans 31.2 square miles at 2,152 residents per square mile (the 11th densest) and sits entirely in Dakota County, served by ZIP codes 55122, 55123, 55121^[3].

New construction arrives with 200-amp panels and room to grow; the older homes nearby are the ones where panels fill up, double-taps appear, and an EV charger triggers a load calculation.

Eagan is split across 3 ZIP codes: 55122 (35% of the city's land), 55123 (35% of the city's land), 55121 (31% of the city's land)^[5].

The closest tracked neighbours are Apple Valley (5.2 mi S), Burnsville (6.7 mi SW) and Bloomington (7.5 mi W)^[3].

22% of Eagan's housing was built in 1960–1979^[1] — the 7th-lowest share of the 15 Twin Cities–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Apple Valley (27%), Burnsville (38%), and Bloomington (38%). That window includes roughly 1965–1973, when some homes got aluminum branch wiring^[6].

16% of Eagan homes heat with electricity and 81% with gas^[1] — the 7th-highest share of the 15 Twin Cities–area suburbs we cover (Apple Valley (15%), Burnsville (21%), and Bloomington (21%) nearby). Gas-heated homes often have more panel headroom, but only a load calculation tells.

Within 10 miles of central Eagan: 87 damaging-wind reports and 0 lightning-damage reports in 2016–2025, the latest on Jul 28, 2025^[4].

Ice is the other outage risk: 55 winter-storm, ice or hard-freeze days in 2016–2025^[4] — worth knowing when sizing a generator or asking about whole-home surge protection.

1% of Eagan's housing is from 2020 or later^[1] — new enough that builder warranties still apply to many electrical defects.

Out of the 15 suburbs on this site, Eagan has the fewest lightning-damage reports nearby (0, tied with Plymouth and Shakopee)^[4] and the 2nd-lowest share of detached houses (50%)^[1].
