North Fond du Lac village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
North Fond du Lac village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 5,373 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #148 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 North Fond du Lac village earn a median of $61,744 a year, 21.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in North Fond du Lac village is valued at $144,900, 52.2% below the national figure and 32% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,083 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 59.4% 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.
