What it’s like
The place. Nashotah is a small village in Waukesha County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, far more than across the county as a whole. Household incomes run well above the county's, very few residents live below the poverty line, and a large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing and lows well below it, and the town sees plenty of snow along with a fair amount of rain through the year. Summers are warm, with July the warmest month.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, professional and business services, schools, hospitals and social care, and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are Techniplas, a plastics and fiberglass manufacturer, MSI General, a commercial building contractor, and Lauderdale Lakes Marina, a power boat dealer. Many residents drive a moderate distance to work, and a good number work from home.
Things to do. Upper Nashotah Lake and Lower Nashotah Lake are in or beside town, and Nixon Park is a short drive away. Wisconsin Brewing Company Park, a stadium, is also a short drive away. Farther afield, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Milwaukee County Zoo are both a longer drive away.

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.
