Eau Claire remains Wisconsin's ninth biggest city with 65,883 residents, according to the recently released 2010 Census. This population count is a 6.8% increase over the last decade, slightly more than the state average of 6%. "One of the things that's been advantageous for Eau Claire is that we've enjoyed real growth, but it hasn't been at either extreme. That allows a community to plan for and absorb that growth," says Mike Huggins, Eau Claire City Manager.
