Like its neighbors to the west -- Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglas counties -- Iron County initially experienced rapid growth thanks to the timber and mining industries. Its population peaked in 1920 and then stabilized for two decades. Since then, it has declined 42%
As of July 1, 2014, 28.2% of Iron County's population is 65 and over compared to a state average of 15.2%. Its 0-to-4 demographic is 3.8% compared to Wisconsin's 5.9%. A projected population loss of 8.4% between 2010 to 2040 puts it in the top 10 among Wisconsin counties.
