Tomah city, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tomah city is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 9,505 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 41.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Tomah city earn a median of $51,185 a year, 34.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tomah city is valued at $162,900, 46.3% below the national figure and 23% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $927 a month, 34.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.1% 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.
