What it’s like
The place. Ridgeland is a very small village in Dunn County, Wisconsin, with few residents and a quiet, rural feel. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow through the season, while summers turn comfortably warm in July. A typical home here is valued well above what many older homeowners elsewhere in the state might expect, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents of Ridgeland work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Few people work from home. Across Dunn County, the largest workplaces include the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Walmart and 3M Company. Unemployment across the county is low and little changed from a year earlier, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Big Beaver Creek Wildlife Area is a protected area a short drive away. Farther afield, Tainter Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away, and the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts is a theatre a longer drive away. Most other nearby places, including lakes and parks, also take a longer drive to reach.

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