What it’s like
The place. Westfield is a small village in Marquette County, Wisconsin, with a population younger than much of the country. Household incomes in the village run below the county's, and about as many homes are lived in by their owners as are rented, with owners holding a modest majority. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Marquette County, the largest workplaces include Brakebush Brothers, a poultry manufacturer, the Westfield School District, and Power Packer - Westfield, which makes fluid power actuators. Few adults in the village hold a four-year degree, and a typical commute is short, with very few people working from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Castle Rock Lake and Green Lake are both lakes a longer drive away, and Buckhorn State Park is a protected area a longer drive away as well. For something different, the International Crane Foundation is a zoo, also a longer drive from the village.

Natural hazards

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