Delafield, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Delafield city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 7,192 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 47.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Delafield city earn a median of $101,482 a year, 29.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% above 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 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Delafield city is valued at $504,500, 66.3% above the national figure and 138% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,344 a month, 4.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
