What it’s like
The place. Curtiss is a very small village in Clark County, Wisconsin, with far fewer people than most places a visitor would think of as a town. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home. Homes are modestly priced, and household incomes across Clark County are in the middle range for the state. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a good deal of snow, while July brings warm days, and rain and melted snow arrive in fair amounts through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming and forestry, and in shops. Across Clark County, some of the largest workplaces are Grassland Dairy Products, a butter maker, Cummins Filtration, which makes filters for trucks and buses, and WB Manufacturing, a furniture maker. Unemployment across the county is low and has barely changed over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown only slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, South Twin Lake and Rock Dam Lake are both lakes a longer drive away, and the Black River is a river in the same range. Foxfire Botanical Gardens, also a longer drive away, is a garden for a quieter day out. Nothing on this list is close by, so a trip from Curtiss usually means planning a drive.

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