What it’s like
The place. Le Roy is a small city in McLean County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run a little above the county's. Fewer people live below the poverty line here than you might expect, and the population is mostly in its middle years. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in banks, insurance and property, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Le Roy are LeRoy CUSD 2, Kirby Foods Leroy and the Le Roy Community Fire Protection District. Unemployment across McLean County is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Sangamon River offers time by the water, and Moraine View State Recreation Area is a protected area for walking and fishing. The Grand Village of the Kickapoo, an archaeological site, is also a short drive from town. A longer drive brings you to Robert Allerton Park, a botanical garden.

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