Land O'Lakes is a tiny town located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 974 people and two associated neighborhoods, Land O'Lakes is the 387th largest community in Wisconsin.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.50% 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.
Another notable thing is that Land O'Lakes is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Land O'Lakes’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Land O'Lakes is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Land O'Lakes’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
The town 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, Land O'Lakes has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Land O'Lakes a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
