Edgerton city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Edgerton city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 5,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #140 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Edgerton city earn a median of $84,185 a year, 7.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Edgerton city is valued at $243,900, 19.6% below the national figure and 15% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,081 a month, 23.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.9% 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.
