The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey found a Wisconsin statewide median of $73,800 per year (about $6,150/month) for assisted living -- higher than the national median of $70,800/year, and there is no published Milwaukee-metro-specific figure.
The detail behind the number
That $6,150/month figure is a statewide median, not a Milwaukee number, and actual pricing at any specific Milwaukee-area community will differ from it -- sometimes significantly, in either direction, depending on unit size, care level, and location within the metro. Wisconsin ranked among the 17 highest-cost states nationally for related home-care categories in this same 2024 survey, so the state overall runs above the national baseline across several care types, not just assisted living. Because no metro-specific figure exists from any primary source, treat any 'Milwaukee assisted living costs $X' number you find on an aggregator site as unverified, and ask each community you're considering for its own current rate sheet.
