What it’s like
The place. Loyal is a small city in Clark County, Wisconsin, where most homes are lived in by their owners and incomes run a little below the county's. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Clark County, some of the largest workplaces are Grassland Dairy Products, Cummins Filtration and WB Manufacturing. The typical commute is moderate, and few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Black River State Forest is a protected area a longer drive away, and Black River itself is a river in the same direction. Marshfield Motor Speedway, a race track, is also a longer drive away, as is Riverside Park, a park for a quieter afternoon.

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