Bourbonnais village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bourbonnais village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 18,109 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #142 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 34.6 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 Bourbonnais village earn a median of $81,017 a year, 3.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bourbonnais village is valued at $242,600, 20% below the national figure and 35% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,132 a month, 19.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
