Barrington village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Barrington village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 11,049 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #209 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Barrington village earn a median of $150,714 a year, 91.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 103% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Barrington village is valued at $580,900, 91.5% above the national figure and 224% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,886 a month, 34.1% above the national figure, or roughly $22,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
