What it’s like
The place. Dodgeville is a small city and the seat of Iowa County, in the hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Household incomes here run below the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though not by as wide a margin as in some towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a good deal of snow falls over the season. Summers are warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Dodgeville are Walmart, Upland Hills Health and the Dodgeville School District. Unemployment across Iowa County is low and has barely changed from a year earlier, and a share of residents work from home.
Things to do. Governor Dodge State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Harker Creek, a small river. For a longer outing, Cave of the Mounds is a tourist attraction a longer drive away, and Little Norway, a museum, is also a longer drive off. Between them they give a mix of time outdoors and places to visit.

Natural hazards
- LandslidesRelatively moderate
- HailRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Iowa County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Iowa County and the Madison, WI metro.
