There is no published memory-care cost median for Wisconsin or any other state -- CareScout, the primary national cost-of-care survey source, does not survey memory care as its own category. Any memory-care price figure you see online is an estimate or extrapolation, not a primary-sourced figure.
More detail
It's tempting to look for a single number, but honestly, none exists in a verifiable form -- so treat any 'average memory care cost' figure you see on an aggregator site with real skepticism. What is verifiable is Wisconsin's 2024 CareScout state median for assisted living generally ($6,150/month), which can serve as a rough starting floor since memory care typically costs more due to a higher staffing ratio and a secured environment, but the actual premium varies significantly by community and is not captured in any published statewide dataset. The only reliable way to get a real number for your specific situation is to ask each Milwaukee-area memory-care community directly for its current published rate sheet.
