Menomonie city, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Menomonie city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 16,548 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 25.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Menomonie city earn a median of $54,587 a year, 30.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Menomonie city is valued at $203,800, 32.8% below the national figure and 4% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $933 a month, 33.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 39.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
A median age of 25.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
