Wisconsin law divides cities into four classes relating to government administration and local governmental power. Hortonville is a Village, which corresponds to a 1.5-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. The Village itself is approximately 2.16 square miles in size with the planning jurisdiction covering approximately 20.25 square miles. 2023 total population was 3,344 and has seen growth above the population date. 2040 the population could be 3,812. The median age is 44.6 which is more than 4 years older than the state average of 40.4. Household income shows that about 32% of households earned over $100,000, while 25% earned less than $50,000. Comparatively, Hortonville has a larger percentage of higher income earners than Outagamie County and Wisconsin households as a whole. Housing needs – support for housing type.
