Lynwood, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Lynwood village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 9,047 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #242 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 39.5 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 Lynwood village earn a median of $76,619 a year, 2.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lynwood village is valued at $213,700, 29.6% below the national figure and 19% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,151 a month, 18.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,812 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.4% 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.

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.
