Blue Mounds village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blue Mounds village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 873 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #423 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Blue Mounds village earn a median of $74,583 a year, 5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 11.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blue Mounds village is valued at $322,900, 6.4% above the national figure and 52% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,093 a month, 22.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,116 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 873 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Blue Mounds village against its county rather than against national figures.
