Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Burbank, IL

Burbank is a city in Stickney Township, Cook County, that presses directly against Chicago's southwest edge - the Chicago city limit at the Ashburn neighborhood forms Burbank's entire eastern border.

The Burbank area was scattered farmland into the 20th century, but postwar development was so rapid that its population nearly tripled in a single decade to about 20,720 by 1960.

Burbank incorporated as a city in 1970, the last part of Stickney Township to do so, partly to resist annexation by the City of Chicago.

The city took its name not from the famous California city but from the local Luther Burbank Elementary School, named for the horticulturist Luther Burbank, which had served the area since the 1930s.

Burbank had a population of 29,439 in the 2020 census, packed into just 4.17 square miles of land at a density of about 7,060 people per square mile.

Burbank has about 9,500 households, and its households are larger than the national norm at roughly three people each, with about 81% of its homes owner-occupied.

In recent Census Bureau survey estimates, about half of Burbank's residents identify as Hispanic or Latino.

Burbank students attend Reavis High School, the single school of Reavis Township High School District 220, which stands on West 77th Street and enrolls roughly 1,900 students.

Burbank is bordered by Oak Lawn to the south, Bridgeview to the west, Bedford Park to the north, and the small city of Hometown at its southeast corner.
