Indian Creek village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Indian Creek village is a very small community in Illinois, with 892 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #733 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 46.4 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 Indian Creek village earn a median of $152,500 a year, 94.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 105% above 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 2.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Indian Creek village is valued at $443,100, 46% above the national figure and 147% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,029 a month, 115.4% above the national figure, or roughly $36,348 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.8% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.5% 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.
