About Edgar
Edgar is a very small town located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 4,185 people and just one neighborhood, Edgar is the 157th largest community in Wisconsin.
Edgar is a blue-collar town, with 40.5% of people working in blue-collar occupations, while the average in America is just 24.7%. Overall, Edgar is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and production and manufacturing workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Edgar who work in office and administrative support jobs (15.07%), farm management (10.65%), and sales jobs (6.86%).
In addition, many people in Edgar have jobs in agriculture, more so than in most other communities in America. As a result, you will see quite a number of farms around town.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 13.44% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute.

Because of many things, Edgar is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Edgar really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Edgar perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
As is often the case in a small town, Edgar doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
