What it’s like
The place. Sobieski is a very small community in Oconto County, Wisconsin, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year. Homes here are valued well above what many people expect for a place this size.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in shops. Across Oconto County, some of the largest workplaces are Saputo Cheese, the Oconto Falls Public School District and Oconto Hospital & Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, and the county had slightly fewer jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. The Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Lambeau Field, a stadium, and to Bay Beach Amusement Park. The Oconto River is also within a longer drive for anyone who likes time by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Oconto County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.

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 Oconto County and the Green Bay, WI metro.
