What it’s like
The place. Eagle is a small village where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and where households earn more than the county's typical household and fewer people live in poverty. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm days, and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and government also employing many. Across Waukesha County, some of the biggest workplaces are Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Milwaukee Tool Corporate and the Waukesha School District. The commute is a long one for many people, and only a small number work from home.
Things to do. Old World Wisconsin, a museum, sits in or beside town, as does Jericho Creek, a river. A short drive away is the Mukwonago River, and Geneva Lake, a lake, is 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 Waukesha 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 Waukesha County and the Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI metro.
