What it’s like
The place. Hazel Green is a small village in Grant County, in the southwest corner of Wisconsin. Residents are younger than in many small places, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run a little below the county's, and winters are cold and snowy, with a long stretch of freezing weather in January, while July brings warm summer days.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing a good number. Across Grant County, some of the largest workplaces are the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Southwest Health Center and Walmart. The county has seen slightly fewer jobs than the year before, and unemployment has held steady over the past year.
Things to do. Hazel Green Town Hall, a theatre, sits in or beside town, and the Chicago Athenaeum, a museum, is a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Eagle Point Park, and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens are another longer drive for a walk among planted beds.

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