Franklin County, IL

Royalton, Illinois has about 1,214 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $71,500.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Franklin County is $930 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Royalton. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Illinois's prices sit at 100.0 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

In July 2026, a typical Illinois home paid 19.22¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Royalton's bill.
