What it’s like
The place. Omro is a small city in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the population leans a little older than the typical American community. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is common nationwide, and typical home values sit at a moderate level for the state. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow come steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in banking, insurance and property. The largest workplaces in Omro include the Omro School District, Eden Senior Care and Keenline Conveyor Systems. Most people drive a fairly long way to work, though some work from home, and jobs across Winnebago County dipped slightly last year.
Things to do. A short drive away, the EAA Aviation Museum and the Oshkosh Public Museum offer indoor outings, and Lake Butte des Morts is the closest big water for boating and fishing. For a longer day out, Lake Winnebago and High Cliff State Park are a longer drive away, with open water and trails.

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