Carrollton city, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Carrollton city is a small town in Illinois, with 2,528 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #462 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 36.9 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 Carrollton city earn a median of $64,464 a year, 17.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Carrollton city is valued at $114,100, 62.4% below the national figure and 36% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $920 a month, 34.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,040 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 1.8×, 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. 65.8% 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.
