What it’s like
The place. Wind Point is a small village on the Lake Michigan shore, and it is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. The people who live here are older than in most communities, and incomes tend to be comfortable, with hardly anyone living below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July, and moisture comes steadily through the year as both rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in shops. Across Racine County, the largest workplaces include the Racine Unified School District, SC Johnson and Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare. Far more adults here hold a four-year degree than in most places, and a good number work from home, while the usual trip to work is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Racine Zoo is in or beside town, which makes it the easiest outing, and the Racine Art Museum is a short drive away, as is the Racine Heritage Museum. For a longer drive, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, a botanical garden, are both across the county line in Milwaukee.

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