St. Francis city, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
St. Francis city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 9,318 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #101 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 53.6 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 St. Francis city earn a median of $58,490 a year, 25.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in St. Francis city is valued at $207,200, 31.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $893 a month, 36.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 53.6 puts St. Francis city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
