What it’s like
The place. Flossmoor is a small village in Cook County where people have settled in for the long haul. Residents are older than in most places, and almost everyone owns the home they live in, which is far more than across the county as a whole. Household incomes run well above the county's, and few people live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in banks, insurance and property, with others in professional and business services and in manufacturing. Within the village itself, some of the largest workplaces are the Village of Flossmoor, Sunrise of Flossmoor and the Village of Flossmoor Fire Department. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Flossmoor sits within reach of Chicago, and the best known places there are a longer drive away. The Art Institute of Chicago is a museum, and Millennium Park is a garden in the city's center. For ballgames, Wrigley Field is a stadium, and Soldier Field is another.
