Richfield, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Richfield village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 11,806 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #81 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 49.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Richfield village earn a median of $135,774 a year, 72.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 84% above the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Richfield village is valued at $456,500, 50.5% above the national figure and 115% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,460 a month, 3.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.9% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97.4% 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.

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.
