Lake Delton village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lake Delton village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 3,522 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #194 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 Lake Delton village earn a median of $42,386 a year, 46% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Delton village is valued at $144,100, 52.5% below the national figure and 32% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $980 a month, 30.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,760 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58% 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.
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.
