92.1% of the city’s 1,070 households own the place they live in. Household incomes in Cohasset track the state: a median of $92,692, against $89,062 for Minnesota.
The population has barely moved since 2020: 2,699 then, 2,728 in 2025. Statewide, the change was +2.2%. When the population is steady, businesses grow by taking customers from competitors, and the website is often where that choice happens.
Climate normals for Cohasset
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Pokegama Dam, 3.7 miles away, put the July average high at 78°F and the January average low at -3°F. About 28 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 185 times a year. Cold winters bring furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, all searched in a hurry when the first cold snap arrives. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

What Minnesota asks of a business with a website
A few rules apply to any Cohasset business that sells or advertises online:
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Minnesota agencies, Itasca County, the city of Cohasset or an attorney.
Questions from Cohasset business owners
Can I show customers in La Prairie that I cover their area?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, La Prairie and Grand Rapids included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 2,728 people?
Customers do not stop at the city limits: Itasca County counts 1,175 businesses with employees and 3,123 without (2023). A website lets the whole county see what you do.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (Minnesota’s state rate is 6.9%, and local taxes may apply).
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
