Whitelaw village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Whitelaw village is a very small community in Wisconsin, with 922 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #408 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 42 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 Whitelaw village earn a median of $57,298 a year, 27% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Whitelaw village is valued at $179,800, 40.7% below the national figure and 15% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $969 a month, 31.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
