What it’s like
The place. Rosholt is a small village in Portage County, Wisconsin, where neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying below freezing, and summers are warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and poverty is low.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in banks, insurance and property, in shops, and in other services. Across Portage County, the largest workplaces include the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the Stevens Point Area Public School District and Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital. Commutes run on the longer side, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Water is the main draw close to home. Lions Lake and Collins Lake are both in or beside town, and several more lakes, including Tree Lake and Sunset Lake, are a short drive away. For a change of scene, the Little Eau Pleine River is 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 Portage 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 Portage County and the Stevens Point, WI metro.
