What it’s like
The place. Nekimi is a small town in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, where residents are older than in most American communities. Nearly everyone owns their home, and household incomes run well above the county's, with fewer people living in poverty than you might expect. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Winnebago County, some of the largest workplaces are Kimberly-Clark's corporate offices, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and the Oshkosh Area School District. A four-year degree is held by a minority of adults, and the typical commute is fairly short, with a small share working from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the EAA Aviation Museum is a museum devoted to flight, and Menominee Park Zoo is a small zoo that suits a relaxed afternoon. Sisson's Peony Gardens, also a short drive away, is a garden worth visiting when the flowers are in bloom. For time by the water, Lake Winnebago is a large lake a longer drive away.
