Twin Lakes village, WI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Twin Lakes village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 6,351 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #136 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 50.6 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 Twin Lakes village earn a median of $85,800 a year, 9.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Twin Lakes village is valued at $257,000, 15.3% below the national figure and 21% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,034 a month, 26.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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 50.6 puts Twin Lakes village 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
