Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the principal city in the state, with a population of 594,833. That makes it the 28th largest city in the United States. The larger Milwaukee metropolitan area has a population of 1.75 million, and the Greater Milwaukee area which includes 7 entire counties has a total population of over 2 million. So it may only be ranked 28th in the country, but it is quite a big metropolis in practical terms.
The city is located on the edge of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes found in the American Midwest. The climate of Milwaukee is a typical Midwestern climate which falls into the humid continental climate. Summers are warm and humid, while winters are snowy, windy, and cold. Average high temperatures in July are 26.7 degrees C (80.1 degrees F), while the average high temperature in January is -1.7 degrees C (28.9 degrees F).
People living on either of the coasts may assume that Milwaukee is a provincial backwater with a mostly white population, but the city`s population is actually nearly 40% African American, and close to 16% Hispanic.
Did you get a map of Milwaukee from the collection above? I hope you find them useful.
