What it’s like
The place. Whitehall is a small city and the seat of Trempealeau County in western Wisconsin. Its residents are a little younger than in many small towns, and household incomes run below the county's. More homes here are rented than across much of the county, though most are still lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July.
Work. Manufacturing is the largest line of work for people who live here, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, then shops and restaurants. Ashley Furniture in Arcadia and Ashley Distribution Services are among the biggest workplaces in Whitehall, along with the Whitehall School District. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a typical commute is about as long as a short drive across the county, with a small number working from home.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor choices are a longer drive away, among them Perrot State Park and Great River Bluffs State Park, both protected areas, and the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge. The Buffalo River is also a longer drive away for time on the water. For a museum visit, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum is a longer drive away as well.

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 Trempealeau County.
