What it’s like
The place. Bartonville is a village in Peoria County, Illinois, and it is a place where most people own the homes they live in. Residents are somewhat older than in many towns, and household incomes run above the county's. Homes cost less than in much of the country, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than is common.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in banks, insurance and property, in manufacturing, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in the village are Liberty Steel & Wire-Peoria, H&S Mechanical and Limestone CHSD Schools. Most people have a fairly short drive to work, and fewer than the national picture would suggest are employed from home.
Things to do. Fort Crevecoeur, a fort site, and Kickapoo Creek lie in or beside town, and Pekin Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area, a park, is there too. A short drive away are the Peoria Zoo and Peoria Lake. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, so outdoor outings suit the warmer months best.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bartonville’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 Peoria County and the Peoria, IL metro.
