Burbank city, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burbank city is a small city in Illinois, with 28,822 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #69 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 38.2 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 Burbank city earn a median of $83,975 a year, 6.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burbank city is valued at $258,900, 14.7% below the national figure and 45% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,241 a month, 11.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,892 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.2% 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.
