What it’s like
The place. Grantsburg is a small village in Burnett County, in northwestern Wisconsin. Its residents are older than in many American communities, and most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are long, 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, and in shops, with other services close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Grantsburg are Fluid Connectors Grantsburg, the Grantsburg School District and Burnett Medical Center, a critical access hospital. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in much of the country, and most people have a fairly short drive to work. Unemployment across Burnett County is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Crex Meadows, a protected area a short drive away, is one of the closest places to spend time outdoors, and Governor Knowles State Forest is also a short drive off. The Kettle River and the Snake River, both a short drive away, offer time by the water. St. Croix State Park is a longer drive away, for days when a bigger trip is in order.

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