What it’s like
The place. Keyesport is a very small village in Bond County, Illinois, home to far fewer people than most towns. Household incomes here run below the county's, and homes are priced modestly. Very few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants and hotels, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Across Bond County, the largest workplaces include Bond County CUSD 2, Greenville University and Greenville Regional Hospital. The commute is a fairly long one, and the county's jobless rate has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Carlyle Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away, as are South Shore State Park and Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area, both protected areas set aside for outdoor use. For a longer drive, Vandalia State House State Historic Site is a museum of the state's early history. Winters are cold and summers warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

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 Bond County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
