ZIP Code 53703

In ZIP code 53703, which covers part of Madison, median household income sits at $47,847 while per-capita income reaches $46,898 — a pairing that points to a largely working-class and student-heavy population rather than an affluent one.

Add Madison's 5.50% combined sales tax, and the overall cost of living here leans heavily on housing and consumption alike, even as earnings trail the value of the real estate around them.
