Pleasant Prairie village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pleasant Prairie village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 21,515 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 44.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Pleasant Prairie village earn a median of $103,903 a year, 32.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% above 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pleasant Prairie village is valued at $336,300, 10.8% above the national figure and 59% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,446 a month, 2.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
