Hinsdale village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hinsdale village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 17,155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #149 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 Hinsdale village earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 237% 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 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hinsdale village is valued at $999,100, 229.3% above the national figure and 458% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,981 a month, 40.9% above the national figure, or roughly $23,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.5% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 90.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
