What it’s like
The place. Addison is a small town in Washington County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share of owners than most places. Household incomes run above the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and snow adding to the year's rain, while summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Addison are Kreilkamp Trucking Allenton, LTI Holdings and Zuern Building Products. A typical commute takes a moderate amount of time, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Allenton State Wildlife Area is a protected area in or beside town, and Kettle Moraine State Forest is a short drive away for time outdoors. Little Cedar Lake is another short drive, and Horicon Marsh, a longer drive away, is a good place for a day trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washington County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Washington County and the Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI metro.
