Bolingbrook village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bolingbrook village is a small city in Illinois, with 73,813 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 37.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Bolingbrook village earn a median of $107,552 a year, 36.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bolingbrook village is valued at $295,500, 2.6% below the national figure and 65% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,718 a month, 22.2% above the national figure, or roughly $20,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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. 79% 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.
