What it’s like
The place. Fifield is a small town in Price County, Wisconsin, with a population older than in most of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest compared with much of the country. 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. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Price County, some of the largest workplaces are BW Papersystems, a maker of paper-mill machinery, Weather Shield, which builds wood doors, and Flambeau Hospital. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country, and most people travel to work rather than working from home, with a commute of a moderate length.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Fifield Fire Lookout Tower, a tourist attraction, and the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame, a museum. A longer drive brings you to Flambeau Lake and Patricia Lake, both good places for time by the water. Wisconsin Concrete Park, another museum, is also a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Price 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 Price County.
