Butler, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Butler village is a very small community in Illinois, with 247 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1147 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 Butler village earn a median of $62,869 a year, 20% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 4.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Butler village is valued at $83,400, 72.5% below the national figure and 53% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 73.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 247 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Butler village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Butler village because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
