Momence city, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Momence city is a small town in Illinois, with 3,076 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #427 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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.

Households in Momence city earn a median of $52,048 a year, 33.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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. 67.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
