Oak Park village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Oak Park village is a small city in Illinois, with 53,315 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #27 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Oak Park village earn a median of $108,026 a year, 37.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 46% above 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oak Park village is valued at $456,300, 50.4% above the national figure and 155% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,456 a month, 3.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
