The people of Stetsonville drew water from private wells until the 1980s, when petroleum contamination began to appear in some of them. A complete cleanup of the source was impossible, so in 2010 the village established a municipal water system, with help from the DNR, the USDA, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and other sources.

There were 263 housing units at an average density of 710.8 per square mile (274.4/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 98.5% White, 0.7% African American, 0.2% Asian, and 0.6% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.1% of the population.
