Park Ridge city, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Park Ridge city is a small city in Illinois, with 39,241 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #43 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 44.5 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 Park Ridge city earn a median of $138,059 a year, 75.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 86% above 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 3.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Park Ridge city is valued at $539,300, 77.8% above the national figure and 201% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,511 a month, 7.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.1% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.3% 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.
