Owen city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Owen city is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 884 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #418 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 40.9 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 Owen city earn a median of $58,611 a year, 25.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Owen city is valued at $125,500, 58.6% below the national figure and 41% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $675 a month, 52% below the national figure, or roughly $8,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% 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 2.1×, 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. 74% 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.
