ZIP code 61528

ZIP 61528 is a small town in Peoria County, Illinois, with 3,263 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #554 of 1,396 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 41.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 ZIP 61528 earn a median of $182,424 a year, 132.3% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 61528 is valued at $305,300, essentially level with the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, 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. 94.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 61528 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.

ZIP 61528 is tabulated inside Peoria County, Illinois, one of 25 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,396 across Illinois. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 61528 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 61528 reports a median household income of $182,424, 147% above the $73,990 county median, and 151% above the $72,734 typical IL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $305,300, 97% above the county figure and 108% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Illinois charges 6.25% statewide, and local governments overlapping 61528 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 61528 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
