Headwaters Economics Demographic and Socioeconomic Reports
Headwaters Economics is a free and powerful resource for gathering information about economic and demographic trends in your community.

However, reports on demographic trends are available for Plainview).

Industry Data Tables
If you're really into having the data and want to dig in, these are the industry data tables we used to conduct the economic analysis for Plainview, Wabasha County, and the Rochester MSA. This is a lot of data, so feel free to contact the Extension team with questions.
Some helpful tips:
Sorting is the key to making this data useful.
Sorting by the first column (level) will change the level of industry analysis. Level 2 is the two-digit North American Industrial Classification System code. This represents the broadest grouping of industries. Level 6 is the six-digit NAICS code, the most specific industry type in the United States. The tradeoff we encounter when looking at industry data, especially at a small geographic scale like a city or zip code, is that most data is unavailable. So, we can either look at a broader industry code (lower level) or a larger geography to get information.
Then, look at the other variables and sort those columns from largest to smallest.
As with all data analysis, a graph can be helpful.
