Burnham village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burnham village is a small town in Illinois, with 3,978 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #383 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Burnham village earn a median of $55,708 a year, 29.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burnham village is valued at $146,400, 51.7% below the national figure and 18% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,183 a month, 15.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.5% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
