Burlington, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Burlington village is a very small community in Illinois, with 479 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #953 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Burlington village earn a median of $83,250 a year, 6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burlington village is valued at $283,300, 6.6% below the national figure and 58% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,196 a month, 14.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.1% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 479 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Burlington village against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
