Franklin village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Franklin village is a very small community in Illinois, with 554 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #908 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 36.3 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 Franklin village earn a median of $66,250 a year, 15.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Franklin village is valued at $103,300, 66% below the national figure and 42% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $915 a month, 34.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,980 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 1.6×, 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. 68.8% 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.
