What it’s like
The place. Willard is a small community in Clark County, in central Wisconsin, a state in the upper Midwest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow arrive steadily through the year.
Work. Most of the county's residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, or in shops. Unemployment across Clark County is low and has edged up slightly over the past year, while the number of jobs has grown a little. Most homes across the county are lived in by their owners, and relatively few people work from home, so most adults travel to a workplace each day.
Things to do. Rock Dam Lake is a lake a short drive away. Canoe Landing Prairie State Natural Area, a protected area, is also a short drive away. Black River, a river a longer drive away, is another option for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Clark County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.

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 Clark County.
