Chili, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Chili CDP is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 341 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #597 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 24.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Chili CDP earn a median of $54,063 a year, 31.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chili CDP is valued at $150,800, 50.3% below the national figure and 29% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 24.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 341 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Chili CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Chili CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
