Demographics & Statistical Data
The U.S. Census provides many quick facts on Oshkosh’s demographics. While the facts are valuable, they don’t tell the entire story of Oshkosh and its urban area. The Oshkosh Chamber has invested in invaluable tools that provide up-to-date demographic information in a specific geographic region. If you want specific reports regarding the greater Oshkosh area, email Economic Development Director Sean Fitzgerald at [email protected] or call him at (920) 303 2265 Ext. 20.
