Wind Lake, WI population, income and ZIP codes

Wind Lake CDP is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 5,028 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #155 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 48 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 Wind Lake CDP earn a median of $100,306 a year, 27.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 7.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wind Lake CDP is valued at $357,500, 17.8% above the national figure and 69% above the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,158 a month, 17.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,896 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
