Worth village, IL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Worth village is a mid-size town in Illinois, with 10,731 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #214 of 1,462 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Worth village earn a median of $56,998 a year, 27.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 21.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Worth village is valued at $220,200, 27.4% below the national figure and 23% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,164 a month, 17.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,968 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.1% 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.
