What it’s like
The place. Chandlerville is a very small village in Cass County, Illinois, the kind of place where neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here cost far less than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Cass County, some of the largest workplaces are the pork plant at Beardstown, the Beardstown school district and Walmart. Jobs across the county were fewer last year than the year before, and unemployment there has eased since a year ago.
Things to do. Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area, a protected area for wildlife and outdoor recreation, is a short drive away, as is Sand Prairie-Scrub Oak State Nature Preserve, a protected area of native sandy habitat. Lincoln's New Salem, a museum, is a longer drive away.

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