Wisconsin’s 72 counties, by the numbers

Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:

  • Concentrated. Half of Wisconsin’s 5,910,955 residents live in just 9 of 72 counties, and the five largest hold 40.1% of the total. Census PEP 2023
  • Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 2.1×, and the 10 highest-income counties average 6.8% in poverty against 15.2% for the 10 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
  • Mostly small. Half of Wisconsin’s counties have fewer than 41,608 residents, and half report a median household income below $70,174 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
  • Lopsided density. Only 20 of 72 counties are denser than Wisconsin’s statewide average of 109 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
