Cameron CDP, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cameron CDP is a very small community in Illinois, with 383 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1007 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 37.9 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 Cameron CDP earn a median of $57,614 a year, 26.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below 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 Cameron CDP is valued at $110,400, 63.6% below the national figure and 38% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, 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. 50.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 383 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cameron CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Cameron CDP 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.
