Denmark village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Denmark village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 2,472 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #247 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Denmark village earn a median of $72,083 a year, 8.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Denmark village is valued at $174,200, 42.6% below the national figure and 18% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $735 a month, 47.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 76.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
