What it’s like
The place. Friendship is a small village and the seat of Adams County, in central Wisconsin. Household incomes here run below the county's, and somewhat fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a fair number of residents work from home. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest and a good amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care employ more residents than any other line of work, followed by manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Friendship are Moundview Memorial Hospital, Aria at Villa Pines, and Grande Custom Ingredients - Friendship. Unemployment across Adams County is higher than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs there has held about level.
Things to do. Roche-a-Cri State Park and the Roche-a-Cri Petroglyphs, an archaeological site, are in or beside town. A short drive away are Castle Rock Lake and Buckhorn State Park, both good for time outdoors, along with the Yellow River.

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