North Riverside village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

North Riverside village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 7,495 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #274 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 37.4 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 North Riverside village earn a median of $80,753 a year, 2.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Riverside village is valued at $295,100, 2.7% below the national figure and 65% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,254 a month, 10.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,048 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
