Raritan, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Raritan village is a very small community in Illinois, with 155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1265 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 36.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Raritan village earn a median of $77,361 a year, 1.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Raritan village is valued at $80,600, 73.4% below the national figure and 55% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 92.2% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 155 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Raritan village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Raritan village 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.
