Six measures
Hennepin County's Opportunity Profile in Numbers
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
78.1/ 100
Ranks 204 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 138 of the 400 markets on this site. Higher numbers point to a bigger opportunity for a reseller. How the score is built
Six public Census measures feed the Local Reseller Opportunity Index (LROI), a 0 to 100 score that asks one question of each county: how good a place is it for an agency to resell SEO, judged by small employers, SEO-buying categories, towns, income, new openings and crowding? Hennepin County scores 78.1, which is well above the middle.
Past the headline score, Hennepin County turns out to be a county with high household incomes, and also a county with an unusually large number of small employers for its population. The bars show where the county falls on each measure among all those counties.
- Sites with fewer than ten workers, per 1,000 people 4.8 Many: 85th percentile
- Core buyer-category locations per 10,000 residents 36.5 Deep supply: 85th percentile
- Communities with over 2,500 residents 31 Many towns: 99th percentile
- Typical household income (2023 est.) $93,642 High side: 90th percentile
- Net change in employer locations, 2017 to 2022 -0.5% Moving slower than most: 27th percentile
- Average crowding percentile of the nine buyer categories 61 Crowded: 74th percentile
- Homes permitted in 2025 per 10,000 residents 29 Near the middle: 52nd percentile
- Residents gained or lost since the 2020 Census -1.8% Below-average pace: 13th percentile
The percentile bars compare Hennepin County with each of the 1,822 counties above the 20,000-resident cutoff. Data: County Business Patterns (2017 and 2022) for employer locations and staff-size bands, the 2023 Census population estimates, SAIPE (2023) for income, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
The map of towns
Why Hennepin County Needs Town-by-Town Pages
Hennepin County spreads across 31 places that pass 2,500 residents (19 above 10,000), more towns than 99% of counties. Each town is its own set of search phrases, so a single client with a service van can need a page for every community it covers. A reseller whose fulfillment is built around landing pages by town has a natural fit here.
Income runs high ($93,642 median household), a point in favor of premium retail pricing. Small employers (under 10 staff) number 6,024, 4.8 per 1,000 residents, ahead of 85% of counties. For reseller SEO for Hennepin County web designers, the practical effect is a prospecting order: real estate offices ahead of law offices and the other five groups behind them.
The raw picture: 40,654 employer locations (6,024 of them under 10 staff) employing 914,142 people, 1,258,713 residents and a $93,642 median household income. Population has moved -1.8% since the 2020 Census.
None of this tells you how many owners in Hennepin County want SEO; it tells you how many exist, which is the part Census files can answer.
Seven groups
A Prospecting Order for Private Label SEO in Hennepin County
Seven groups of local businesses, ranked for Hennepin County by the number of locations under 10 staff and by density compared with the median county. The notes translate that into a prospecting order.
| Where to prospect | Reading for this county |
|---|---|
| 1. Real estate offices | A crowded field at 3.7x typical: 1,156 locations, 1,110 of them small. The count is up 18.3% since 2017. Neighborhood and town coverage is what these offices most often ask about. |
| 2. Law offices | 896 locations, 723 with fewer than 10 staff, at 2.5x the typical county's density. The count has fallen 9% since 2017. Practice areas and cities translate into pages one for one. |
| 3. Insurance and accounting firms | 1,048 locations, 889 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.7x the typical county's density. The count is steady at -6.5% since 2017. These offices sell on trust, so pages that answer local questions suit them. |
| 4. Home services | 1,286 locations (1,064 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.1x. The count is up 9.6% since 2017. Their customers tend to search by service and by town, which is how a landing page plan is laid out. |
| 5. Landscaping and cleaning firms | A crowded field at 1.5x typical: 913 locations, 751 of them small. The count is steady at +3.6% since 2017. These are service-area firms that sell by season and by neighborhood. |
| 6. Dental and medical practices | 967 locations (577 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.1x. The count is steady at -4.2% since 2017. Practices usually want pages by procedure and by office location. |
| 7. Auto repair shops | Typical density (0.9x) across 294 locations, 258 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at -7.3% since 2017. Most shops serve a handful of towns, so the page plan stays short and easy to explain. |
Groups combine the Census categories listed on the methodology page; ranking weighs the count of locations under 10 staff and density against the median county. It is a prospecting order, not a forecast of who will buy. Method
Put differently, 2,722 small locations sit in the three best-ranked groups. The order is built from counts and density, so it favors where prospects are plentiful; your own contacts and references should override it whenever they point somewhere else.
Town by town
Hennepin County's Largest Places and Their Share of the County
The biggest places in Hennepin County by residents. Customers usually name their town when they search for local help, so each row is a separate target for a landing page.
| No. | Place | 2023 population estimate | Percent of the county |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minneapolis | 425,115 | 34% |
| 2 | Bloomington | 87,398 | 7% |
| 3 | Brooklyn Park | 82,017 | 7% |
| 4 | Plymouth | 77,648 | 6% |
| 5 | Maple Grove | 71,288 | 6% |
| 6 | Eden Prairie | 62,166 | 5% |
Census Bureau estimates; a place may be a city, a town or a census-designated place. For cities that straddle a boundary, this table lists the Hennepin County side alone.
No place dominates: Minneapolis is the largest at 34% of residents, and 31 places clear 2,500 (19 clear 10,000). A client wanting full coverage of Hennepin County needs a long list of town pages. As a rough illustration, a client that sells six services in each of the 31 places above 2,500 residents would have 186 service-and-town combinations; the startup fee covers the design, development and optimization of up to about 1,000 landing pages per client.

| 14 | Electricians | 221 | 162 | 1.8 (0.8x) | +2.3% |
| 15 | Roofers | 117 | 95 | 0.9 (1.6x) | +24.5% |
Fifteen categories, biggest first. Each bracketed multiple compares Hennepin County's density per 10,000 residents with the median county, where anything below 1.0x is lighter than usual. Source: County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, which omits businesses with no employees. Method
Real estate offices (1,156) lead the count in Hennepin County, with restaurants (927) and law offices (896) behind. The most crowded categories, against the typical county, are real estate offices at 3.7x and law offices at 2.5x. Plumbing and HVAC firms are comparatively few (0.6x typical), so each one that signs is competing with fewer neighbors. The fastest-growing category is roofers, up 24.5% since 2017 to 117 locations. Restaurants moved the other way, down 5.3% since 2017.
Housing permits
Hennepin County Builds Less Than It Did in 2022
Bars show housing units approved by building permit. The yearly county permit files and a matching January to August comparison are Census Bureau products. Not every permit ends in a completed home.
Permits peaked at 9,409 units in 2022 and landed at 3,648 in 2025, 61% lower, which is still 29 per 10,000 residents. Through August 2026, 2,250 units were approved against 2,740 in the same months of 2025 (-17.9%).
For a reseller, the relevant groups are the housing-linked ones: real estate offices (3.7x typical density). A contractor whose work depends on new households has a direct reason to care whether customers can find the business.

Discounts apply to both fees, 10% from 10 clients and 20% from 20, and the minimum is two. Reports are white-labeled with your brand, a dedicated account manager supports you, and we do not contact your client unless you ask.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients | 1 in 1,866 | $2,500 | $600 |
