Tolono village, IL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tolono village is a small town in Illinois, with 3,546 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #401 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 Tolono village earn a median of $79,333 a year, 1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 4.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tolono village is valued at $207,200, 31.7% below the national figure and 16% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,002 a month, 28.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,024 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
