Rothschild village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Rothschild village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 5,532 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Rothschild village earn a median of $87,250 a year, 11.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Rothschild village is valued at $188,000, 38% below the national figure and 11% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $934 a month, 33.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,208 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.8% 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 2.2×, 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. 73.4% 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.
