Arlington, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Arlington village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 947 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #402 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Arlington village earn a median of $97,031 a year, 23.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Arlington village is valued at $279,300, 7.9% below the national figure and 32% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,267 a month, 9.9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,204 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 947 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Arlington village against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
