Osco, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Osco CDP is a very small community in Illinois, with 63 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1390 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 63.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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.

Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 63.6 puts Osco CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 63 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Osco CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Osco CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
