Neponset village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Neponset village is a very small community in Illinois, with 411 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #994 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 39.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Neponset village earn a median of $74,375 a year, 5.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Neponset village is valued at $73,800, 75.7% below the national figure and 59% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $770 a month, 45.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,240 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% 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 1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 91.2% 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.
