Fredonia village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Fredonia village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 2,382 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #253 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 36.4 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 Fredonia village earn a median of $86,442 a year, 10.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% above 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Fredonia village is valued at $261,400, 13.8% below the national figure and 23% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,009 a month, 28.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,108 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
