Little Chute village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Little Chute village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 11,930 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 36 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Little Chute village earn a median of $79,260 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 7% above the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Little Chute village is valued at $223,400, 26.4% below the national figure and 5% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,141 a month, 18.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,692 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
