Cameron village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cameron village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,763 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #286 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 33.4 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 Cameron village earn a median of $59,444 a year, 24.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cameron village is valued at $177,100, 41.6% below the national figure and 16% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $998 a month, 29% below the national figure, or roughly $11,976 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 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. 57.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
