Bonnie Brae, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Bonnie Brae CDP is a very small community in Illinois, with 844 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #747 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Bonnie Brae CDP earn a median of $76,483 a year, 2.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bonnie Brae CDP is valued at $224,200, 26.1% below the national figure and 25% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,570 a month, 11.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
