Dodgeville city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dodgeville city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 5,013 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #156 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 80% 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 Dodgeville city earn a median of $72,768 a year, 7.3% 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. 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dodgeville city is valued at $234,000, 22.9% below the national figure and 10% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $984 a month, 30% below the national figure, or roughly $11,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.7% 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.
