What it’s like
The place. Mapleton is a very small village in Peoria County, Illinois, with a population that makes it one of the quieter places in the area. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and the year has a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. A small share work from home. Across Peoria County, some of the largest workplaces are Saint Francis Medical Center, Methodist Medical CTR of Illinois and Bradley University. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. The Mackinaw River and Powerton Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area are in or beside town, which makes walking, fishing and watching wildlife easy to fit into a day. A short drive away are Fort Crevecoeur, a fort site, and Spook Hollow, a tourist attraction. For a longer outing, Peoria Zoo is a longer drive away.

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