Plainfield village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Plainfield village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,057 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #384 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 33.5 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 Plainfield village earn a median of $50,357 a year, 35.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Plainfield village is valued at $95,500, 68.5% below the national figure and 55% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $845 a month, 39.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,140 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 1.9×, 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. 76.6% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
