What it’s like
The place. Kellogg is a very small city in Wabasha County, Minnesota, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest and a good deal of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Almost none work from home. Across Wabasha County, some of the largest workplaces are Hearth & Home Technolgies, a maker of fireplace inserts, Lakeside Foods Plainview, which cans fruits and vegetables, and St. Elizabeth Hosp. of Wabasha, a critical access hospital. Unemployment across the county is higher than it was a year ago, and there are slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Reads Landing Overlook, a tourist attraction, and Castlerock Museum are both a short drive away, as is the Whitewater River. A longer drive brings you to Lake Pepin, one of the largest lakes along this stretch of the Mississippi, and to several state parks, including John A. Latsch State Park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kellogg’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Wabasha County and the Rochester, MN metro.
