Libertyville village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Libertyville village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 20,493 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #119 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 91% 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 Libertyville village earn a median of $162,270 a year, 106.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 119% 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 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Libertyville village is valued at $499,300, 64.6% above the national figure and 179% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,537 a month, 9.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,444 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
