What it’s like
The place. Hartland is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, with a population that skews a little older than many places. Household incomes run below the county's, though few residents live below the poverty line. More homes are lived in by their owners than rented, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing at best and a good deal of snow, while July is warm, and rain and melted snow add up over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also well represented. Some of the largest workplaces in Hartland are Merge Healthcare Solutions, a software company, Dorner Manufacturing, which makes conveyor systems, and Watertronics, which makes pumps. Unemployment across Waukesha County is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has barely changed. A typical commute is moderate, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Nixon Park is a park in or beside town. A short drive away are Pewaukee Lake, a reservoir, and Upper Nashotah Lake and Lower Nashotah Lake, both good places to be near the water. For a longer drive, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Milwaukee County Zoo are both in Milwaukee.

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