Chicago Ridge, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Chicago Ridge village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 14,147 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #173 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 34.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Chicago Ridge village earn a median of $69,389 a year, 11.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chicago Ridge village is valued at $217,800, 28.2% below the national figure and 22% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,198 a month, 14.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.7% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
