What it’s like
The place. Broadlands is a very small village in Champaign County, Illinois, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes across the county are middling for the state. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home, so most people travel to a job, with a commute that runs fairly long. Across Champaign County, the largest workplaces include the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Carle Foundation Hospital, and the number of jobs has held roughly steady.
Things to do. The best-known stop nearby is Gies Memorial Stadium, a stadium a longer drive away. For quieter days, Kickapoo State Recreation Area is a protected area, also a longer drive away. Krannert Art Museum, another longer drive away, adds an indoor option when the winter weather turns.

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