Meta says over 400 people work on-site at the Altoona facility [0], but most of those are clearly working for a variety of smaller contractors given that the initial tax terms anticipated a few dozen direct employees [edit: wrong state] and no datacenter companies show up in the county's 50 largest employers [1].

The datacenter is in Altoona, Iowa. Your second link is about the county containing Altoona, Pennsylvania. Ditto for your population size number.
Thanks, updated to reflect the correction.
