What it’s like
The place. Warrens is a small village in Monroe County, Wisconsin, with a population that keeps it close-knit. Residents are somewhat younger than in many small towns, and incomes run a little below the county's. More households own their homes than rent, though renters are a real part of the village. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by government, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Monroe County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, The Toro Company's Tomah plant, and the Sparta Area School District. Most people travel a fair way to work each day, and only a small share work from home.
Things to do. The La Crosse River is a short drive away and makes for an easy outing on the water. Farther afield, Black River State Forest and Mill Bluff State Park are protected areas that take a longer drive to reach, and are good for walking and time outdoors.

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