What it’s like
The place. Addison is a village in DuPage County, west of Chicago, with a population that sits somewhat older than a young-family suburb would suggest. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though there are more renters than across much of the county. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values and rents sit in a middle range for the Chicago area.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Addison are UPS, the Addison SD 4 school district and DuPage HSD 88 Schools. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many suburbs, and the commute is a moderate one, with some people working from home.
Things to do. Chicago's best-known places are all a longer drive away, among them the United Center, a stadium, and the Art Institute of Chicago, a museum. The Chicago River and Millennium Park, a garden, are also within a longer drive. Winters are cold, with snow through the season and highs near freezing in January, while summers turn warm, so day trips tend to be planned around the seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Addison’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on DuPage County and the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI metro.
