What it’s like
The place. Goodman is a very small community in Marinette County, Wisconsin, in the north woods country near the Michigan line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures that stay well below freezing, while summers are mild and pleasant. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents mostly work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Marinette County, some of the largest workplaces are Waupaca Foundry, Johnson Controls and Aurora Medical Center - BAY Area. Unemployment in the county has edged up a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. Water is the main draw around Goodman. The Menominee River and the Brule River are both a longer drive away, and Winslow Lake is another lake within reach, also a longer drive. For something different, the Lumberjack Steam Train, a museum, is a longer drive as well.

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