Pepin ZIP codes — Pepin County, Wisconsin

Pepin County is a mid-size town in Wisconsin, with 7,372 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 46.3 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 Pepin County earn a median of $74,536 a year, 5.1% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pepin County is valued at $196,100, 35.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $860 a month, 38.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
