Cottonwood
7.3
High score (8-10)
Cottonwood County is pure southwestern Minnesota agricultural plains with Windom on the Cottonwood River. Cost of living is extremely low. For someone with a specific agricultural or business reason to be in the far southwest, it functions as a base.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Cottonwood County has been losing population for decades and has no economic anchor beyond farming. Windom has limited services and no social scene worth mentioning for a newcomer. Very limited options.
Lower score (below 6)
Cottonwood County is declining agricultural plains with an aging, overwhelmingly local population. No social scene exists here for an outsider. No diversity, no path to meeting anyone outside of church or a bar where everyone already knows each other. Skip unless you have farm business here.
