[3] Lake Delton, along with the nearby Wisconsin Dells, is a resort area and a center for tourism in the upper Midwest.

[7] On June 9, 2008, Lake Delton, the approximately 267-acre (1.08 km2) dammed artificial lake adjacent to the village, overflowed its banks, washing away four homes and a portion of Old Newport Road (County Highway "A") while nearly emptying the lake basin into the Wisconsin River following several days of torrential rains.

There were 2,217 housing units at an average density of 296.1 per square mile (114.3/km2).

As of the census[11] of 2010, there were 2,914 people, 1,269 households, and 653 families living in the village.

There were 2,343 housing units at an average density of 334.2 per square mile (129.0/km2).

35.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 1,982 people, 897 households, and 525 families living in the village.

30.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 10.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
