The short answer

Ashwaubenon is home to 17,314 people. Median household income is $69,667 a year and median rent is $964 a month, 16.6% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $266,600, about 3.8x annual median household income.

Ashwaubenon stands out on how people work. Counting remote workers as zero, the average worker spends about 105 hours a year commuting, less than in 95% of places its size. Also notable: Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 90 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings.
