Somerset, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Somerset village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 3,084 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #216 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 27.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Somerset village earn a median of $76,176 a year, 3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Somerset village is valued at $271,200, 10.6% below the national figure and 28% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,127 a month, 19.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,524 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.2% 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.

A median age of 27.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
