Cons of Living in Irving, IL
Very Small Population

With only a few hundred residents, the village is tiny. This can mean limited social, cultural, or recreational amenities.
Population Decline
-
The population has been shrinking over recent years, which can correlate with economic stagnation and fewer services.
Economic Challenges
-
Median household income is relatively low, and local job opportunities may be limited, potentially making employment harder to find.
Higher Crime Estimates (Mixed Data)
-
Some local estimates suggest crime rates in the area might be higher than state and national averages, though specific data is limited and should be interpreted cautiously given the small population.
Other Things to Know
