Berkeley village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Berkeley village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 5,222 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #329 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Berkeley village earn a median of $83,224 a year, 6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Berkeley village is valued at $222,400, 26.7% below the national figure and 24% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,292 a month, 8.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
