Elk Mound village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Elk Mound village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,103 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #378 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 32.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Elk Mound village earn a median of $62,167 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Elk Mound village is valued at $142,500, 53% below the national figure and 33% below 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 19% 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 2.3×, 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. 50.5% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
