What it’s like
The place. Westboro is a very small community in Taylor County, in the north-central part of Wisconsin. Nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, and homes here are valued well below what buyers pay in many parts of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. People who live in Westboro work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Taylor County, some of the largest workplaces are Marathon Cheese, the Medford Area Public School District and Aspirus Medford Hospital and Clinics. The typical commute is a short one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Twin Lakes Bog State Natural Area is a protected area, and South Twin Lake and Spirit Lake are both lakes within easy reach. Farther afield, Council Grounds State Park is another protected area, and Wisconsin Concrete Park is a museum, both 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 Taylor County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Taylor County.
