ZIP 53063 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 53063 is a small town in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, with 1,656 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #523 of 783 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 43 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 ZIP 53063 earn a median of $93,594 a year, 19.2% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 53063 is valued at $242,300, 20.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $751 a month, 46.6% below the national figure, or roughly $9,012 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.6% 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. 85.5% 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.

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.

Reading ZIP 53063 in context

How 53063 sits inside Manitowoc County and Wisconsin.

ZIP 53063 is tabulated inside Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, one of 14 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 783 across Wisconsin. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 53063 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 53063 reports a median household income of $93,594, 20% above the $77,978 county median, and 27% above the $73,420 typical WI ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $242,300, 18% above the county figure and 13% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $751 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Wisconsin charges 5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 53063 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 53063 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
