Knapp village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Knapp village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 504 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #538 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 43.8 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 Knapp village earn a median of $59,167 a year, 24.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below 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 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Knapp village is valued at $105,000, 65.4% below the national figure and 50% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 1.8×, 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. 58.3% 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.
