Community Overview
Though the city's 2003 population was estimated at 5,794, much of the area's population lives outside the city limits in surrounding townships. This is partially due to the beauty of the surrounding countryside, but also because the popular Waupaca Chain of Lakes lies in the Towns of Farmington and Dayton. Long a favorite vacation spot, Waupaca is rich in specialty shops, comfortable restaurants, golf courses and outdoor activities. The Waupaca area supports a service area of over 30,000 people within a 15 mile radius of the city.

Waupaca is the Waupaca County seat. It is also the site of the Wisconsin Veterans Home, a 750-bed nursing and residential facility for state residents (and some spouses) who have served in our nation's armed forces.

The Waupaca area also features strong industrial and service components. Existing industries include a large foundry, food processing, specialty paper production, publishing, horse trailers and more. Service industries include county and city government, schools, medical, nursing, tourism, banking, dining and shopping.
