Clinton city, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clinton city is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 7,012 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #283 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 39.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Clinton city earn a median of $55,960 a year, 28.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clinton city is valued at $101,200, 66.6% below the national figure and 43% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $916 a month, 34.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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. 64% 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.
