Hickory Hills city, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hickory Hills city is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 14,718 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #167 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Hickory Hills city earn a median of $85,541 a year, 8.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 15% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hickory Hills city is valued at $278,400, 8.2% below the national figure and 55% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,112 a month, 20.9% below the national figure, or roughly $13,344 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.7% 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.
