Kandiyohi
6.9
High score (8-10)
Kandiyohi County has Willmar — one of the more genuinely ethnically mixed small cities in Minnesota because of the Jennie-O Turkey processing plant. The Somali and East African community here is substantial and established, and the county also has Ridgewater College. For a foreign man who connects with immigrant communities, Willmar has more social texture than its size suggests.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Kandiyohi County's ethnic mixing from meatpacking has created social tension that shapes the local environment. The East African community and the longer-established white population don't mix much socially. Willmar has some bars and restaurants but the scene is very limited for a small city. A foreign man navigates complicated social terrain here.
Lower score (below 6)
Kandiyohi County has had documented racial tension around the growth of its immigrant communities. Willmar has more ethnic variety than most rural MN but the social atmosphere around that variation is strained. Options for meeting people are limited and the cultural climate is not relaxed. Not worth it for someone without specific community connections.
