Cambridge village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cambridge village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,507 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #311 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 44.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Cambridge village earn a median of $93,424 a year, 19% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cambridge village is valued at $280,000, 7.7% below the national figure and 32% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,120 a month, 20.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,440 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% 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.
