Crandon city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Crandon city is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,499 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #313 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Crandon city earn a median of $50,729 a year, 35.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crandon city is valued at $129,400, 57.4% below the national figure and 39% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $597 a month, 57.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,164 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.8% 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.

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.
