Cudahy city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cudahy city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 17,964 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 42.3 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 Cudahy city earn a median of $66,717 a year, 15.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cudahy city is valued at $201,000, 33.8% below the national figure and 5% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $977 a month, 30.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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. 62.2% 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.
