What it’s like
The place. Granton is a village in Clark County, Wisconsin, and a very small one. Household incomes here run below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a good deal of snow, while summers turn warm in July. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might find in a larger town.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, and in shops. Across Clark County, some of the largest workplaces are Grassland Dairy Products, Cummins Filtration and WB Manufacturing. Unemployment across the county is low and has barely moved from a year ago, and the number of jobs there has edged up slightly. A typical commute takes a fair while, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Black River is a short drive away, and the Black River State Forest, a protected area, is a longer drive off. For something different, Marshfield Motor Speedway is a race track, also a longer drive away. North Wood County Park is another park for a day outdoors, though it too lies a longer drive from the village.

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