Thorp city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thorp city is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,696 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #295 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Thorp city earn a median of $56,800 a year, 27.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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.

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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
