Nichols, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Nichols village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 278 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #636 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 Nichols village earn a median of $56,875 a year, 27.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nichols village is valued at $145,300, 52.1% below the national figure and 31% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $883 a month, 37.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44.2% 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.

With 278 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Nichols village against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
