Nekoosa is a very small city located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 2,406 people and two associated neighborhoods, Nekoosa is the 284th largest community in Wisconsin.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.56% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Nekoosa has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Nekoosa a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
The rate of college-level education in Nekoosa is quite a bit lower than the national average among all cities of 21.84%: just 10.00% of people here over 25 have a bachelor's degree or an advanced degree.
