What it’s like
The place. Berwick is a very small township in Warren County, Illinois, with far fewer people than most towns on this site. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and household incomes in the county are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, which fits a place where work tends to be practical and close to home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport and warehousing also employing many people. Across Warren County, the largest workplaces include Smithfield Monmouth Fresh Meats, Monmouth-Roseville CUSD and Monmouth College. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the number of jobs slipped slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Little Swan Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Carl Sandburg State Historic Site, a museum about the poet's early life, and to Argyle Lake State Park, a protected area for walking and camping. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers turn warm, so outdoor trips suit the milder months best.

Natural hazards
- DroughtRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Warren County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Warren County.
