What it’s like
The place. Kohler is a small village in Sheboygan County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Households here have incomes well above the county's, very few residents live below the poverty line, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in banks, insurance and property. Among the largest workplaces in Kohler are the Kohler Company, which makes faucets and plumbing products, and the hotel and resort operation that carries the same name, along with Aurora Medical Center. Commutes are short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The John Michael Kohler Arts Center is a museum a short drive away, and the Art Preserve is another museum in or beside town. The Mullet River and the Onion River both run in or beside the village, and the Sheboygan River is a short drive off. For a longer outing, Road America, the race track, 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 Sheboygan 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 Sheboygan County and the Sheboygan, WI metro.
