What it’s like
The place. Harrison is a village in Calumet County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and incomes run well above the county's, with very few households living in poverty. It is a place of families and working-age adults, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, and shops. Across Calumet County, some of the largest workplaces are Ariens Co, which makes snowblowers, U.S. Venture's corporate headquarters, and Walmart. The usual trip to work is fairly short, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across the county is low, though it has edged up a little over the past year, and the county has lost a few jobs.
Things to do. High Cliff State Park is a protected area in or beside town, good for time outdoors. A short drive away are Gardens of the Fox Cities, a botanical garden, and The History Museum at the Castle. Farther afield, Lambeau Field and Lake Winnebago are each a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Calumet County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Calumet County and the Appleton, WI metro.
