What it’s like
The place. Arcadia is a small city in western Wisconsin, in Trempealeau County. It is a young town, with a median age well below that of many communities its size, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July at its warmest. Precipitation through the year is moderate.
Work. Manufacturing is the main kind of work among residents, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, and banks, insurance and property. Pilgrim's Pride, which processes poultry, is the largest workplace in Arcadia, and Nelson Global, which deals in mufflers and exhaust parts, and Blaschko Enterprises, an offset printer, are among the others. Unemployment across Trempealeau County is low and close to where it stood a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Trempealeau River is a river a longer drive away, and Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area, also a longer drive away. Perrot State Park, another protected area, is likewise a longer drive away. Those who prefer a museum visit can head to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, which is also a longer drive away.

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 Trempealeau County.
