What it’s like
The place. Millville is a very small city in Wabasha County, Minnesota, where the people who live there are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for many small Minnesota towns, and few households live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Over a year the town gets a fair amount of both snow and rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also common. Across Wabasha County, the largest workplaces include Hearth & Home Technolgies, a maker of fireplace inserts, Lakeside Foods Plainview, which cans fruits and vegetables, and the Plainview-elgin-millville Schools district. Unemployment in the county is higher than a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. The typical commute is a long one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. The North Fork Zumbro River is a short drive away. Farther afield, Lake Pepin is a lake a longer drive away, and Whitewater State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away. Frontenac State Park, another protected area, makes a longer outing too.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Millville’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.
