Rockwood, IL population, income and ZIP codes

Rockwood village is a very small community in Illinois, with 15 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1441 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 1% of them. The median age here is 62.5 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 Rockwood village earn a median of $56,250 a year, 28.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% below 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rockwood village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 87.5% 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. 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.

A median age of 62.5 puts Rockwood village 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 15 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rockwood village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Rockwood 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.
