What it’s like
The place. Blair is a small city in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin, and most homes in it are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a good deal of snow, while July brings warm days, and precipitation is steady through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades, and transport, warehouses and utilities also employing many. Across Trempealeau County, the largest workplaces include Ashley Furniture in Arcadia, Pilgrim's Pride and Global Finishing Solutions. Unemployment in the county has stayed close to where it stood a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. A typical commute is a fairly short drive, and few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Buffalo River and the Trempealeau River are both a longer drive away, as is Perrot State Park, a protected area. Anyone wanting an indoor outing can make a longer drive to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.
