2025 Area Median Income (AMI) for Wisconsin Counties

Area Median Income or AMI, a number calculated by HUD, defines what makes housing affordable. AMI is the midpoint of an area’s income levels, with half of the families earning less than that number, and half earning more. AMI is the key determining factor for most housing program eligibility.

Door County’s AMI for 2025 is $103,700, according to HUD. Regions with large urban areas typically have a higher AMI than rural areas. HUD combines Brown and Kewaunee county AMIs at $110,500. Dane County has an AMI of $129,800. Bayfield County, which has half the population of Door County but has a similar rural character and tourism-based economy, has an AMI of $90,700.
