Greenwood, 2020 to 2025

The population has barely moved since 2020: 726 then, 725 in 2025. Statewide, the change was +2.2%. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

Businesses in and around Greenwood

The Census counted 674 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 55331, which includes Greenwood and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• 7 marinas: slips, services, fuel dock hours and a map, with a contact form for availability.
• 10 chiropractic offices: what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
• 34 real estate offices: the neighborhoods you know best, agent profiles and a contact form for buyers and sellers.
• 19 remodeling contractors: project galleries by room, the steps of a remodel and a consultation request form.

In Hennepin County, the Census counted 40,486 businesses with employees and 119,298 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Hennepin County leans toward nursing and residential care facilities (986 establishments, 2.2 times the national share). For them, families research care for a relative, and the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. The county also has a strong cluster of social assistance and child care providers (1,567 establishments, 1.6 times the national share). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Greenwood.

What Minnesota asks of a business with a website

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to most Greenwood businesses:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Minnesota’s is 200 or more retail sales from outside Minnesota to destinations in Minnesota in the prior 12-month period, or retail sales totaling more than $100,000 in the prior 12-month period. Minnesota still keeps the 200-sale test. Minn. Stat. 297A.66, subd. 1(c)
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
