Pine River, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Pine River CDP is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 115 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #752 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 50.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Pine River CDP earn a median of $42,143 a year, 46.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 17.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pine River CDP is valued at $192,500, 36.6% below the national figure and 9% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 94.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

A median age of 50.5 puts Pine River CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 115 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pine River CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Pine River CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
