What it’s like
The place. Kewaunee is a small city in Kewaunee County, with a population that is on the small side even for Wisconsin. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while summers stay mild, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Among the largest workplaces in town are VOC - Kewaunee, which makes portable metal ladders, the Kewaunee School District, and The Vollrath Company, which makes pots and pans. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and most people commute to work rather than working from home.
Things to do. Kewaunee County Bruemmer Park and Zoo is in or beside town, and West Alaska Lake and Krohns Lake are each a short drive away for time on the water. Two Creeks Buried Forest State Natural Area, also a short drive off, is a protected area for a walk outdoors. For a longer outing, Lambeau Field, the stadium in Green Bay, is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Kewaunee County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Kewaunee County and the Green Bay, WI metro.
