What it’s like
The place. Mindoro is a very small community in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Home values run well above what many people expect for a rural area, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. People who live in Mindoro work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across La Crosse County, the biggest workplaces include Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, Trane Technologies and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up, and the typical commute is a modest one.
Things to do. The closest place to go is La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway, a race track a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Great River Bluffs State Park, a protected area above the Mississippi, and to Perrot State Park, another protected area. For time on the water, Lake Onalaska is a reservoir, also a longer drive off.

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