What it’s like
The place. Combined Locks is a small village in Outagamie County, and most homes in it are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are 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, in shops, and in professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in the village are the Kimberly Area School District, McKinley Paper and Packaging Company and J.T. Schmidt Plumbing. Commutes are fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Wisconsin International Raceway, a race track, is in or beside town. A short drive away are High Cliff State Park, a protected area, and the Gardens of the Fox Cities, a botanical garden. The History Museum at the Castle is also a short drive away, and Lambeau Field, the stadium, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Outagamie 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 Outagamie County and the Appleton, WI metro.
