What it’s like
The place. Kewaskum is a village in Washington County, Wisconsin, with a population that is neither tiny nor large. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home is worth more than many people might expect for a village this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Precipitation falls as both rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are the West Bend School District, G&H Pets and QuadGraphics. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is common in many places, and the commute to work is a fairly typical one.
Things to do. Kettle Moraine State Forest, a protected area, lies in or beside town, so woods and trails are close at hand. A short drive away are Little Cedar Lake and Lizard Mound County Park, an archaeological site. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Milwaukee River and to Road America, a well-known race track.

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