South Holland, IL population, income and ZIP codes

South Holland village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 21,016 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #114 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 South Holland village earn a median of $87,378 a year, 11.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above the $74,244 median for the 698 Illinois cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in South Holland village is valued at $201,200, 33.7% below the national figure and 12% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,914 a month, 36.1% above the national figure, or roughly $22,968 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.3% 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 2.3×, 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. 83.1% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
