What it’s like
The place. Mountain is a very small community in Oconto County, with far fewer residents than most towns. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than you might expect in a place where homes are valued fairly high. Winters are long and cold, with plenty of snow, and summers are warm and mild by comparison.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in shops. Across Oconto County, some of the largest workplaces are Saputo Cheese, the Oconto Falls Public School District and Oconto Hospital & Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Mountain Fire Lookout Tower, a tourist attraction, stands in or beside town, and Winslow Lake is a short drive away. For a longer drive, Governor Thompson State Park is a protected area, and Kettlebowl is a ski area, which suits the snowy winters.

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