Cook County, not Niles
Cook County context, not Niles figures
These are Cook County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Niles measurements.
- Establishments in Cook County134,513
- Employment at those establishments, Cook County2,492,328
- Covered employment, Cook County2,565,567
- Average annual pay, Cook County$86,931
- Average weekly wage, Cook County$1,672
- Housing units permitted, Cook County6,507
- Of those, single family, Cook County1,142
- County product, 2024, Cook County$546,440,623,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cook County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cook County$91,691
Every figure in this section is published for Cook County as a whole and is not a measurement of Niles. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Niles questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Niles, Illinois?
30,064, in 11,481 households. Niles village covers 5.85 square miles of land, which is 5,141 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Niles in?
Cook County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Niles?
$75,274. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $358,700. Median gross rent is $1,336 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Niles businesses?
71 7(a) approvals totalling $26.2 m, across 27 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 29 504 approvals worth $36.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Niles, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Niles borrowers get paid back?
Of the 13 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 30.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Niles in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Niles appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170130, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Niles figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cook County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Niles.
Is zoning published for Niles?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
