What it’s like
The place. Hammond is a village in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, with a younger population than many small towns. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than you might expect from the county as a whole. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a four-year degree is held by a smaller group of adults than in many communities. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a good deal of snow falls each year; summers are warm, with July the warmest month.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing a good number. Within Hammond itself, the Saint Croix Central School District is among the largest workplaces, alongside the trucking firm Dohrn Transfer Company and the nursing home operator Hammond Health Services. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and some people work from home. Across St. Croix County, unemployment is low and the number of jobs has edged up from the year before.
Things to do. The Rush River runs in or beside town, a quiet stretch of water close to home. A longer drive brings you to Willow River State Park and Kinnickinnic State Park, both protected areas with trails and river scenery. Afton Alps, a ski area, is also a longer drive away and suits the snowy winters.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across St. Croix 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 St. Croix County and the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro.
