Potter, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Potter village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 264 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #646 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Potter village earn a median of $64,583 a year, 17.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Potter village is valued at $169,000, 44.3% below the national figure and 20% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $810 a month, 42.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,720 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.2% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 264 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Potter village against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
