What it’s like
The place. Marquette is a very small village in Green Lake County, Wisconsin, with an older population than most places. Homes here are priced modestly, and household incomes in the county run somewhat lower than in much of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and commutes tend to be long, so many people travel a good distance to their jobs. Across Green Lake County, some of the biggest employers are Thedacare-berlin, a critical access hospital, the Berlin Area School District, and Markesan Resident Home, a skilled nursing facility.
Things to do. Puckaway Lake lies in or beside town, and Little Green Lake is a short drive away, so time on the water is close at hand. The Walker-Hooper Site, an archaeological site, is also a short drive from the village. For a longer outing, Horicon Marsh is a longer drive away and makes a good day trip.

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.
