Readstown, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Readstown village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 380 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #578 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 40.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Readstown village earn a median of $32,083 a year, 59.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 57% 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 19.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Readstown village is valued at $97,300, 67.9% below the national figure and 54% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $398 a month, 71.7% below the national figure, or roughly $4,776 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

With 380 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Readstown village against its county rather than against national figures.
