Learn moreA real, direct specialty-care advantage
Marshfield Medical Center, the flagship hospital of Marshfield Clinic Health System, sits directly in the city -- a genuine tertiary/specialty-care access advantage distinct from many Wisconsin Tier B markets in this dataset, where residents typically drive elsewhere for hospital-level care.
A real, disclosed crime-data tension
NeighborhoodScout's own figure (13 crimes per 1,000 residents) reads above the national average and higher than 83% of Wisconsin's own cities/towns, while a separately cited crime-index comparison reads meaningfully below the national average on that source's own scale.
No specific neighborhood is named as unsafe
Per this dataset's site policy, no specific area within Marshfield is called out as higher- or lower-crime here -- confirm current, address-specific data directly with the Marshfield Police Department before relocating.
