What it’s like
The place. Adell is a very small village in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, with a population well below that of most towns people think of as small. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow. Typical home values sit well within reach of a modest budget, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than across the country as a whole.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Sheboygan County, some of the largest workplaces are Kohler Wisconsin, the Sheboygan Area School District and Bemis Manufacturing. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive brings you to Lake Ellen, a lake, and to the Mullet River and the Onion River, both good for a quiet stretch along the water. A longer drive reaches Kettle Moraine State Forest, a protected area, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, a museum. Road America, a race track, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Sheboygan 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 Sheboygan County and the Sheboygan, WI metro.
