Milwaukee

Milwaukee is the most populous city in Wisconsin and one of the major metropolitan areas located in the Midwestern United States—as of 2019, the city of Milwaukee’s population was 485,841 and the greater Milwaukee Metropolitan Area had an estimated population of 3,912,717 at the end of 2018. The Milwaukee metro area includes the city of Milwaukee and five other counties: Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Racine, and Kenosha. Combined, the five counties have a total population of 2.3 million and a metropolitan area population of 5.6 million in 2018. The Milwaukee County Metro transit district and the Milwaukee County Transit System are the two primary public mass transit systems in Milwaukee, with the Milwaukee County transit system being the fourth largest transit system in the United States by the number of annual rides. The greater Milwaukee area combines the charm of Old World Wisconsin with a touch of the hustle and bustle of big city neighbor Chicago. Rife with a deep history of pioneering leaders, Milwaukee presents a great choice for those wanting to live in a thriving city but with ease of access to the quiet bedroom suburbs many crave.
