Living in Madison Area Condos

As the capital of the state of Wisconsin and the county seat of Dane County, Madison has an estimated population of just under 250,000 making it the second largest Wisconsin city next to Milwaukee. In 2010 the Census Bureau’s Madison Metropolitan Statistical Area suggests the regional population was over half a million. According to the last census, there are over 100,000 households in Madison and of those, over 20% have children under the age of 18 living there. The median age in Madison is just about 31.

Employers in Madison

The largest employer in the Madison Region is the Wisconsin State Government. The next largest is the University of Wisconsin, whose Madison campus is the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin system. And the third is University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, an important teaching hospital and regional trauma center. Both of course are technically also state employees. This state employment influence helps account for Madison’s stable employment base and reasonably stable housing market. Steadily catching up though is Madison’s growing high-tech and consumer services sectors. Because nearly half of Madison’s population over the age of 25 has at least a bachelor’s degree this makes for a very attractive employment pool for the region’s business base.
