Gratiot, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Gratiot village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 215 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #682 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 44.5 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 Gratiot village earn a median of $40,938 a year, 47.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% below 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 31.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gratiot village is valued at $131,300, 56.7% below the national figure and 38% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $630 a month, 55.2% below the national figure, or roughly $7,560 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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. 60.4% 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.
