What it’s like
The place. Juneau is a small city in Dodge County, Wisconsin, and the county seat. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with a warm summer in July and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Juneau are Whisker, a manufacturer, Dodgeland School District, and Sensient Flavors, which makes yeast. The typical commute is a moderate one, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The John Hustis House, a museum, and Fourmile Island Rookery State Natural Area, a protected area, are both a short drive away. Beaver Dam Raceway, a race track, is also close by. Horicon Marsh, a well-known wetland and lake, is a longer drive away for a day out.

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.
