Loves Park, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Loves Park city is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 23,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #102 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Loves Park city earn a median of $58,633 a year, 25.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Loves Park city is valued at $144,900, 52.2% below the national figure and 19% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,102 a month, 21.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
