What it’s like
The place. Hazelhurst is a small town in Oneida County, Wisconsin, with an older population than most of the country. Nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, and household incomes run higher than across the county, with fewer residents living in poverty than you might expect. Winters are long, cold and snowy, among the colder in the country, while July is pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Oneida County, some of the largest workplaces are Ahlstrom Coated Products, Walmart and the Rhinelander School District. Jobs across the county grew over the past year, and the commute is a fairly short one, with a fair number of people working from home.
Things to do. The town sits among lakes, rivers and protected woods, and several are a short drive away. Patricia Lake and Kawaguesaga Lake are good for time on the water, the Squirrel River is nearby for a paddle or a walk along its banks, and Wind Pudding Lake State Natural Area is a protected area to explore. Flambeau Lake and the Eagle River are 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 Oneida 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 Oneida County.
