Richmond village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Richmond village is a small town in Illinois, with 2,530 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #461 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 68% 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 Richmond village earn a median of $70,379 a year, 10.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Richmond village is valued at $225,800, 25.6% below the national figure and 26% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,183 a month, 15.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
