New Glarus, WI population, income and ZIP codes

New Glarus village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 2,276 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #258 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 New Glarus village earn a median of $98,224 a year, 25.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in New Glarus village is valued at $267,600, 11.8% below the national figure and 26% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $968 a month, 31.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
