Reading the data
The Brief for Brown County Content Strategy
Writing for Brown County means writing for 10 places at once. Green Bay holds 39% of the residents, and the rest are spread across 9 other places of 2,500 or more, a spread that puts the county ahead of 93% of counties for its number of towns. Local content has to cover them one at a time.
Only 59.2% of research-heavy locations have fewer than five employees, lower than in 76% of counties. Households earn $77,645 at the median, ahead of 75% of counties. Between them, those details set the shape of the work. Start with Green Bay, then De Pere and Howard, and work down the list.
6,662 employer locations serve Brown County's 271,417 residents, 245.5 per 1,000 people, and they employ 142,524 in all. By headcount the county ranks 264th of 3,143 counties. 14% of residents (38,205) live outside every named place, so some of what they look for will carry no town name at all.
