What it’s like
The place. Cadott is a small village in Chippewa County, home to a population that is small even by village standards. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home is worth more than many people might expect for a village of this size. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is a bit higher than you might guess. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are pleasantly warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with banks, insurance and property close behind. Across Chippewa County, some of the largest workplaces are Precision Pipeline, the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District and TTM Technologies. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year. The typical commute is a moderate one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Water is the main draw close to town. The Yellow River, Lake Wissota and Lake Wissota State Park are all a short drive away, offering a river, a reservoir and a protected area for paddling, fishing and walking. For a longer outing, Brunet Island State Park is a protected area 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 Chippewa 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 Chippewa County and the Eau Claire, WI metro.
