Brown Deer village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Brown Deer village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 12,615 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #74 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 40.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Brown Deer village earn a median of $91,567 a year, 16.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Brown Deer village is valued at $221,100, 27.1% below the national figure and 4% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,132 a month, 19.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 64.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
