Glenwood village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Glenwood village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 8,620 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #253 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 39.3 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 Glenwood village earn a median of $71,376 a year, 9.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glenwood village is valued at $182,900, 39.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,639 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.6% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
