Learn moreA real, genuinely major economic anchor
AGP's approximately $700 million soybean-crush facility -- its 11th soybean-processing location nationally -- supports 60-80 new jobs and was targeted for commercial launch by late August 2025, a real, singular investment for a town this size (base record).
A real, above-average senior population
David City's senior (65+) share is cited between approximately 18.4% and 22.9% across sources, meaningfully above the national figure and this project's ~16-17% threshold (base record).
Genuinely affordable housing, with a disclosed spread
Zillow's $215,246 average home value and Redfin's $180,000 median sale price both run well below the ~$393,134 national median, though this record discloses a real spread between the two figures (base record).
A healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture economy
David City's top employment sectors run healthcare/social assistance, manufacturing, and agriculture -- now further anchored by the new AGP facility (base record).
