What it’s like
The place. Caledonia is a village in Racine County, Wisconsin, with a population older than the typical American community and a large majority of homes lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Among the larger workplaces in Caledonia are Milaegers, the garden centers, Midland Packaging and Display, and Roundy's, the supermarket company. The commute is a moderate one, and a modest group of residents work from home.
Things to do. Close by, the Racine Art Museum and the Racine Zoo are both a short drive away, as is Grant Park, a park good for an outing outdoors. For a longer drive, the Milwaukee Art Museum offers a larger museum visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Racine County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Racine County and the Racine, WI metro.
