What it’s like
The place. Fieldon is a very small village in Jersey County, Illinois, with few residents and a quiet, rural feel. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes across Jersey County are comfortable by the standards of small Illinois towns. Few adults in the village hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Jersey County, the largest workplaces include Jersey CUSD, Principia College and Jersey Community Hospital District. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Mississippi River State Fish and Wildlife Area lies in or beside town, a protected area of river country. A short drive away are the Illinois River and Pere Marquette State Park, a protected area that suits a day outdoors. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are warm, so spring and fall tend to be the easiest seasons for time outside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Fieldon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Jersey County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
