Country Club Hills city, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Country Club Hills city is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 16,419 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #154 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Country Club Hills city earn a median of $77,463 a year, 1.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Country Club Hills city is valued at $180,600, 40.5% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,677 a month, 19.3% above the national figure, or roughly $20,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26% 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 2.3×, 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. 76.7% 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.
