What it’s like
The place. Bloomington is a small village in Grant County, Wisconsin, where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run higher than across the county, and fewer people live below the poverty line than one might expect in a rural area. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Grant County, some of the largest workplaces are the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Walmart and Southwest Health Center. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county is the same as it was a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, a protected area, is a short drive away, and Buck Creek, a small river, is close by as well. For a longer outing, Effigy Mounds National Monument is an archaeological site, and Wyalusing State Park is also worth the drive. Both are 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 Grant 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 Grant County and the Platteville, WI metro.
