Ottawa County as a whole had 6,865 employer establishments in 2023 and another 22,980 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 91 machinery manufacturers operate in Ottawa County, about five times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, industrial buyers compare specifications; the website should give customers product lines, specifications, service and parts contacts. Next on the list: metal fabrication shops, 159 of them, at 3.6 times the national share. The jobs Hudsonville residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (24.3%) and manufacturing (15.0%).

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Holland Tulip City Airport, is 14 miles from Hudsonville. It records an average high of 82°F in July and an average low of 20°F in January. About 35 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in October. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 123 times a year.
