Income
More than 40% of Lake Forest households earn more than
$200,000 per year, over six times the percentage of people
in this bracket at the state and national level. With a
median income over double that of the state and national
median, Lake Forest is financially well-off. However, 7.5%
of the population makes less than the poverty line of
$25,000 per year as defined by Illinois Legal Aid. Although
this is far lower than the state and national percentages
(20.4% and 21.5% respectively) it is still a significant
number of Lake Forest residents. Median household
incomes are expected to increase by an annual rate of 1.98
to $169,965 by 2021.
