Arena, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Arena village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 886 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #417 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 37.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Arena village earn a median of $67,917 a year, 13.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Arena village is valued at $190,000, 37.4% below the national figure and 10% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $955 a month, 32.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,460 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
