Characteristics of the County and the Road Network
Waukesha County is a metropolitan county with a population of nearly 390,000 persons. Over 90% of
the population is urban. Milwaukee County is to the east, Racine and Walworth counties are to the
south, Jefferson County is to the west, and Dodge and Washington counties are to the north. The
county is 581 square miles large, approximately 95% of which is land.
There are 91 lakes in the county, including Pewaukee Lake, Big Muskego Lake, Okauchee Lake, Lac La
Belle, Nagawicka Lake, Oconomowoc Lake, Pine Lake, Little Muskego Lake, North Lake, Lower Phantom
Lake, Beaver Lake, Eagle Spring Lake, Upper Nemahbin Lake, Lower Nemahbin Lake, Golden Lake, Lake
Keesus, and Silver Lake. Aside from the lakes, the most prominent topological feature is the kettle
moraine extending north-northwest through Eagle, North Prairie, Wales, between Delafield and
Pewaukee Lake, and through Merton. Kettle Moraine State Forest is along this ridge west of North
Prairie and south-southwest into Jefferson and Walworth Counties. There are also some large hills
between Waukesha, New Berlin, Muskego, and Big Bend. The lowest elevation is in Butler along the
Menomonee River and the highest elevation is Lapham Peak in the town of Delafield.

Municipalities
Waukesha County is the third most populous county in the state, constituting 6.85% of the state’s
population and is part of the Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, WI Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
The cities of Waukesha, New Berlin, Brookfield, and Muskego, plus the village of Menomonee Falls, all
have a 2015 estimated population of greater than 20,000 people, reflecting the overall suburban nature
of the county, given it is at the geographical peripheral of the MSA. But Waukesha County differs from
Washington County, which is also at the geographical peripheral of the same MSA, in that it has a level
of manufacturing comparable to Milwaukee County. Milwaukee County has 46,104 manufacturing
sector employees, whereas Waukesha County has 43,605, as of 2014. The level of manufacturing in a
county as populous as Waukesha County is significant to transportation and all of its safety-related
factors for both the businesses and the employees commuting to the businesses.
The following table includes 2015 population estimates for the municipalities within the county.1 For
municipalities in multiple counties, the table only includes the population that resides in the county.

Emergency Medical Services
Waukesha County has five trauma centers, consisting of one level II (adult only), three level III, and one
level IV centers. The level II trauma center is Aurora Medical Center –Summit in the village of Summit.
The three level III trauma centers are Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls, Wheaton
Franciscan Healthcare Elmbrook Memorial Hospital in the city of Brookfield, and Oconomowoc
Memorial Hospital in the city of Oconomowoc. The only level IV trauma center in Waukesha County is
Waukesha Memorial Hospital in the city of Waukesha.
The closest level I or level II trauma centers for adults to the city of Waukesha, the county seat and most
populated municipality, are Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in the city of Milwaukee,
approximately 13 miles away, and Aurora Medical Center in the village of Summit (within Waukesha
County), approximately 15 miles away. The closest pediatric level I or level II trauma center is Children's
Hospital of Wisconsin in the city of Milwaukee, approximately 13 miles from the city of Waukesha and is
in the same medical complex as the Froedtert Memorial adult trauma center.
8
A long distance from a level I or level II trauma center will have a negative impact on the outcomes of
motor vehicle crashes especially as the population ages. But with the nearby availability of two adult
and one pediatric trauma centers, the likelihood of healthier crash outcomes is greater for the residents
of Waukesha County than for many other counties in the state.
As of 2015, there were 1,459 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in Waukesha County operating out
of 29 different EMS providers. The largest of these organizations are the Menomonee Falls (Village of)
Fire Department, the Waukesha (City of) Fire Department, the Oconomowoc Fire Department, and the
Dousman Fire District. A table of these organizations is below:
There are 3.70 EMTs per 1,000 persons in the county, compared to 3.85 EMTs per 1,000 persons
statewide.

Also, a number of employed persons commute between Waukesha and Washington, Racine, Jefferson,
and Walworth counties, with more workers coming to Waukesha County than workers going from
Waukesha County to these other counties. The one-way shift in employees creates a situation, where
attempting to address traffic safety issues will probably need to involve significant coordination with
these counties.
