What it’s like
The place. Walworth is a village in Walworth County, Wisconsin, with a small population by the standards of American towns. Incomes here run below the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented, though renters are a real part of the community. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Walworth are Daniels Sentry Of Walworth, a grocery store, Novares Walworth 1, a plastics manufacturer, and the Big Foot UHS School District. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Geneva Lake, one of the best known lakes in the area, is a short drive away, as is Big Foot Beach State Park, a protected area. Nippersink Creek, a river, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Rotary Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden 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 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.
