What it’s like
The place. Bloomfield is a village in Walworth County, in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Precipitation falls through the year as both rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and the building trades. Across Walworth County, some of the largest workplaces are the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the hotel and resort company Marcus, and the food maker Conagra Brands. Commutes are on the long side, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Geneva Lake, a lake a short drive away, is the nearest draw for swimming, boating and time by the water. Big Foot Beach State Park, a protected area also a short drive away, offers trails and shoreline. For winter sport, Wilmot Mountain is a ski area a short drive away, and Six Flags Great America, an amusement park, is 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 Walworth 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 Walworth County and the Whitewater, WI metro.
