What it’s like
The place. Pembine is a very small community in Marinette County, with a population among the smallest of any town you would look up. Residents tend to be older than the typical American, and household incomes sit well below the county's. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Typical home values are modest, and winters are long and cold: January is the coldest month, with snow piling up through the season and a good deal of precipitation across the year, while July is pleasantly warm.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in restaurants and hotels. Across Marinette County, some of the largest workplaces are Marinette Marine Corporation, a shipyard, Waupaca Foundry, Inc., an iron foundry, and Johnson Controls. The county's job count has barely moved from the year before, and the usual trip to work is a fairly long one.
Things to do. The outdoors is the main draw here, and it is mostly water. Dave's Falls, a waterfall, and Lindquist Lake are both a short drive away, as are the Pemebonwon River and the Pike River. A longer drive brings you to the Menominee River, one of the larger rivers in the area, and to Norway Speedway, a race track.

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