The Most Expensive ZIP Codes in Wisconsin

Using data from Zillow’s home value index, we analyzed thousands of ZIP codes throughout the United States. One of the reasons why we love to analyze ZIP codes is that they can offer an extremely localized view of wealth on the ground. You might have two ZIP codes in roughly the same area, but the difference between the two in terms of money could be like a tale of two cities.

As part of our analysis, we took into consideration the latest monthly home values Zillow has — November 2024 — as well as the average of 12 months of median home values from December 2023 to November 2024, in order to gain a fuller picture.
