What it’s like
The place. Exeland is a very small village in Sawyer County, in northwestern Wisconsin, with far fewer people than most towns. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more households live below the poverty line than is typical. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a great deal of snow, while July brings warm days and the year is fairly wet overall.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, restaurants and hotels, and manufacturing also employing many. Across Sawyer County, some of the largest workplaces are Tamarack Health Hayward MED CTR, Walmart and Louisiana-Pacific Hayward. Very few people here work from home, and unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year.
Things to do. The Couderay River is a short drive away and the closest of the nearby waters. A longer drive brings you to the Chippewa River and to Lac Courte Oreilles, a lake. Christie Mountain, a ski area, is also a longer drive off, and suits the snowy winters.

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