Eleva village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Eleva village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 715 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #459 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Eleva village earn a median of $55,625 a year, 29.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Eleva village is valued at $165,900, 45.3% below the national figure and 22% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $725 a month, 48.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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. 59.4% 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.
