Peshtigo city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Peshtigo city is a small town in Wisconsin, with 3,404 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #199 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 39 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Peshtigo city earn a median of $65,433 a year, 16.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Peshtigo city is valued at $145,800, 51.9% below the national figure and 31% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $777 a month, 44.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,324 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.2% 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 2.2×, 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. 62% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
