Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Marshalltown (pop ~27,000) is one of Iowa's more demographically mixed small cities. The JBS pork processing plant drew a large Latino population — roughly 30% of the city — and there is also a significant Southeast Asian community. Two major tornadoes (2008 and 2018) damaged the city and the rebuilding brought more immigrant workers. The result is more cultural texture than most Iowa cities its size, with Spanish-language businesses and community organizations. The diversity creates parallel social worlds rather than an integrated scene, but an outsider can find more variety here than in most of Iowa.
