What it’s like
The place. Green Valley is a small village in Tazewell County, Illinois, where the typical home is worth less than what homes sell for in many parts of the country. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the daily drive to work is somewhat long. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July. Snow falls through the winter, and rain and melted snow come through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels following behind. Across Tazewell County, some of the largest workplaces are the Morton Parts Distribution Center, Illinois Central College and Morton CUSD. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs there slipped slightly last year, and only a few people work from home.
Things to do. The Little Mackinaw River is a short drive away, and the Clear Lake Site, an archaeological site, is close by as well. A longer drive brings you to the Mackinaw River and to Sand Ridge State Forest, a protected area of woods.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Green Valley’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Tazewell County and the Peoria, IL metro.
