What it’s like
The place. Kendall is a small village in Monroe County, Wisconsin, and a quiet one. Household incomes in the village run below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold, with a good deal of snow, and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Few work from home, so most people travel to a job. Across Monroe County, the largest workplaces include the Veterans Health Administration, The Toro Company's Tomah Manufacturing Plant and the Sparta Area School District.
Things to do. The outdoors is the main draw, though each place below is a longer drive away. Mill Bluff State Park and Wildcat Mountain State Park are protected areas for hiking and time among the bluffs and woods. Castle Rock Lake offers open water for boating and fishing.

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