Shorewood, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Shorewood village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 13,682 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #68 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Shorewood village earn a median of $89,135 a year, 13.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 13.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shorewood village is valued at $423,600, 39.6% above the national figure and 100% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,291 a month, 8.2% below the national figure, or roughly $15,492 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 47.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
