Arthur village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Arthur village is a small town in Illinois, with 2,024 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #503 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 47 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Arthur village earn a median of $52,115 a year, 33.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 18.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Arthur village is valued at $146,200, 51.8% below the national figure and 18% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $841 a month, 40.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
