What it’s like

The place. Lawrence is a town in Brown County, Wisconsin, with a population that is fairly young for the county's older-homeowner reputation, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run well above the county's, and relatively few people live below the poverty line. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values are high.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, professional and business services, and banks, insurance and property. Some of the largest workplaces in Lawrence are Robinson Inc DP1, a sheet metal manufacturer, VerHalen, Inc., a building board wholesaler, and DeLeers Construction, a home builder. Brown County has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is a little higher than it was a year ago.

Things to do. Lost Dauphin Park is in or beside town, and the National Railroad Museum, Heritage Hill State Historical Park and Lambeau Field, the stadium, are each a short drive away. Winters are cold and snowy, with a good deal of snow through the season, while summers are warm. Lake Winnebago is a longer drive away for a day on the water.

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