What it’s like
The place. Andalusia is a small village where most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than is common. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing highs, and summers turn warm by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year, so the seasons are distinct.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in shops. Across Rock Island County, some of the largest workplaces are John Deere Harvester Works, Trinity Rock Island and Tyson Fresh Meats. The county has lost a few jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Ski Snowstar, a ski area, is in or beside town, which suits the cold winters. A short drive away are Wildcat Den State Park, a protected area, and the Figge Art Museum. Fort Armstrong, a fort, is also a short drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Andalusia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Rock Island County and the Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL metro.
