What it’s like
The place. Peshtigo is a small city on the river of the same name, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Residents are somewhat older than the typical American, and a four-year degree is less common than across much of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm days, and precipitation falls through the year as both rain and snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with other services close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Peshtigo are the Peshtigo School District, Rennes Health & Rehab Center - West and Great Lakes Custom Tool Manufacturing. Few people work from home, and incomes in the county run below the national picture.
Things to do. The Peshtigo Fire Museum is in or beside town and recalls the great fire that struck the area in the nineteenth century. The Peshtigo River is a short drive away for time on the water, and Lake Noquebay is a longer drive for a day at a lake. Peninsula State Park, a protected area, is also 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 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.
