What it’s like
The place. Durand is a small village in Winnebago County where most homes are lived in by their owners, at a rate higher than many places. Household incomes sit close to the county's, and poverty is fairly low. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also common. Across Winnebago County, some of the largest workplaces are Rockford Schools, SwedishAmerican Hospital and UPS. Jobs across the county slipped a little last year, though unemployment there has eased since a year ago, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Pecatonica River and Rock Cut State Park are both a longer drive away, offering river scenery and a protected area to walk in. Anderson Japanese Gardens, also a longer drive, is a botanical garden that suits a slow afternoon. Each of these is a drive rather than a short trip.

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