What it’s like
The place. Menomonee Falls is a village in Waukesha County, on the northwest edge of the Milwaukee area. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and the year's rain and melted snow is moderate.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing a lot of people. Some of the largest workplaces in the village are Froedtert Health, Community Memorial Hospital and Harley-Davidson. Commutes are fairly short, and a notable number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Milwaukee County Zoo is a short drive away, as is Dretzka Park, a garden. For an afternoon in the city, the Milwaukee Art Museum is a longer drive away, and so is the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, a botanical garden.

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