Hull village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hull village is a very small community in Illinois, with 497 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #945 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 48.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Hull village earn a median of $58,791 a year, 25.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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. Poverty reaches 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hull village is valued at $90,000, 70.3% below the national figure and 50% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $638 a month, 54.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,656 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 1.5×, 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. 90.4% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
