Average rent in Wisconsin

The median asking rent in Wisconsin is $1,800 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.

Against an average home value of $285,181, that rent level prices Wisconsin at a 7.90% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Wisconsin markets.
