What it’s like
The place. Elroy is a small city in Juneau County, and its people are somewhat younger than in many small Wisconsin towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run below the county's, with a noticeable part of residents living 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. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by transport, warehouses and utilities, manufacturing, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Elroy are Wabash Elroy, a maker of fabricated structural metal, the Royall School District, and Elroy Health Services, a skilled nursing facility. The typical commute is short, and few people work from home. Unemployment across Juneau County is slightly higher than a year ago, and the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Plum Creek, a river, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Mill Bluff State Park is a protected area, and Castle Rock Lake offers a day on the water. The International Crane Foundation, a zoo-style centre for cranes, is also 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 Juneau 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 Juneau County.
