The published evidence provides the starting point: In Peoria, IL, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $156,200, median household income of $59,410, and median selected monthly owner costs of $1,525 for owners with a mortgage. In practical terms, together, those three reference points can still help a borrower identify which search-price, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need current verification first. They remain separate medians, not the finances of one representative household, and the $1,525 measure combines recurring ownership expenses rather than real estate taxes alone. For the decision at hand, a useful affordability review starts with $156,200, $59,410, and $1,525, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.

Peoria, IL's $156,200 median home-value estimate is below the statewide $263,300 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 40.7%.
