What it’s like

The place. Horicon is a small city in Dodge County, Wisconsin. Residents tend to be somewhat older than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run well below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are comfortably warm, with a fair amount of rain through the year.

Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. The largest workplaces in Horicon include John Deere Horicon Works, which makes lawn and garden equipment, the Horicon School District, and Metals USA Carbon Flat Rolled, a metals service center. The commute is a moderate one, and a small share of people work from home.

Things to do. Horicon Marsh, a short drive away, is the best known of the nearby places and a draw for anyone who likes wetlands and open water. Fourmile Island Rookery State Natural Area, also a short drive away, is a protected area. For a longer outing, Kettle Moraine State Forest is a protected area a longer drive off, and Aztalan State Park, an archaeological site, lies a longer drive away as well.

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