What it’s like
The place. Sharon is a village in Walworth County, Wisconsin, small enough that people tend to know one another. Residents are younger than in many towns, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though renters make up a real share. Household incomes run below the county's, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest, and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the larger workplaces in the village itself are Exacto, which makes pesticides, Complete Feed Services, which blends animal feed, and the Sharon J11 School District. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a fairly long one, with only a small number working from home.
Things to do. Mokeler Creek, a river, is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time near the water. For a longer outing, Geneva Lake is a lake a longer drive away, and Rotary Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden, also a longer drive away. Big Foot Beach State Park, a protected area, is another longer drive for a day outdoors.

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