How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Merrionette Park village is a small town in Illinois, with 2,144 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #495 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 26.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline.
