Coralville city, IA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Coralville city is a mid-size town in Iowa, with 22,846 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #25 of 1,026 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 33.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Coralville city earn a median of $66,508 a year, 15.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $67,791 median for the 290 Iowa 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Coralville city is valued at $286,000, 5.7% below the national figure and 83% above the $156,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,021 a month, 27.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,252 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
