Davis County as a whole had 179 employer establishments in 2023 and another 763 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Davis County has 1.5 times the national share of specialty trade contractors: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, so the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. Bloomfield’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (26.4%) and manufacturing (20.7%).

Reading the Bloomfield customer

Homeowners make up 68.1% of Bloomfield’s 1,102 households. Households in Bloomfield have a median income of $60,769, around 19% less than the Iowa median of $75,059, so clear prices help.

The Census Bureau’s annual estimates show Bloomfield going from 2,681 in 2020 to 2,785 in 2025 (3.9%). The state’s figure for the same years was +1.5%. Growth like this brings new households that look for local services online before they ask a neighbor.

When Bloomfield customers need you: the seasons

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Bloomfield weather station (0.7 miles from Bloomfield), July highs average 86°F and January lows average 15°F. About 39 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 22 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 128 days. Winter reshuffles demand: plowing and heating in winter, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.
