Ripley, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Ripley village is a very small community in Illinois, with 71 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1381 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 46.9 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.

Households in Ripley village earn a median of not published a year. 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 18.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ripley village is valued at $43,000, 85.8% below the national figure and 76% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $763 a month, 45.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,156 across a full year. 63.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld household income for Ripley 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.
