What it’s like
The place. Kingston is a small village in Green Lake County, home to very few people, and nearly every house is lived in by its owner. Poverty is lower than you might expect, and typical home values sit modestly. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July brings warm days and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Green Lake County, some of the largest workplaces are ThedaCare-Berlin, a critical access hospital, the Berlin Area School District, and Sigma Engineered Solutions, a foundry. Commutes are fairly long, few people work from home, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Little Green Lake and Puckaway Lake are both lakes a short drive away, good for time on the water. The Walker-Hooper Site, an archaeological site, is also a short drive from the village. For more room to roam, Horicon Marsh is a longer drive away.

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