Vernon village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Vernon village is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 7,470 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #128 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 49.7 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 Vernon village earn a median of $121,401 a year, 54.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 64% above 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 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vernon village is valued at $412,600, 36% above the national figure and 95% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,159 a month, 17.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.5% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
