Wales, WI (ZIP 53183) sits in Waukesha County within the Milwaukee-Waukesha metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 4.9%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,033. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $132,305, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 6th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, FLOODING, AND MUDSLIDES, 2025). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,179 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 41.1% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Wisconsin levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 7.65%); a household at the local median AGI of $132,305 would pay roughly $6,073/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Milwaukee County, WI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $112,857, fair market rent of $1,710 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $544,544, up 4.7% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Wales, WI (ZIP 53183) sits in Waukesha County within the Milwaukee-Waukesha metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 4.9%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,033. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $132,305, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 6th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, FLOODING, AND MUDSLIDES, 2025). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,179 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 41.1% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Wisconsin levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 7.65%); a household at the local median AGI of $132,305 would pay roughly $6,073/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Milwaukee County, WI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $112,857, fair market rent of $1,710 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $544,544, up 4.7% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 20.7%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
