What it’s like
The place. Broadview is a village in Cook County, with a small population by the standards of the Chicago area. Household incomes run below the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in manufacturing, professional and business services, or transport, warehouses and utilities. Some of the biggest workplaces in Broadview itself are food and goods makers, among them Pure's Food Specialties, Newly Weds Foods and Solo Laboratories. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country, and most people travel to work rather than working from home.
Things to do. Brookfield Zoo is in or beside town, which makes it the easiest outing for a day with family. A short drive away are the stadiums at the United Center and SeatGeek Stadium. A longer drive takes you into Chicago, where the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the best known museums.

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.
