What it’s like
The place. Milan is a village in Rock Island County, part of the Quad Cities area along the Mississippi. It is a younger town than many, with a median age lower than much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a typical home is priced well within reach of a modest budget.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Within Milan itself, the largest workplaces are Xpac, which packs and prepares goods for shipping, the Hy-Vee grocery store and UPS. The typical commute is moderate, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Black Hawk State Historic Site and the Black Hawk Museum and Lodge are in or beside town, and both are museums tied to the area's history. A short drive away are the Figge Art Museum and Niabi Zoo. Winters are cold and snowy, with highs near freezing in January, and summers turn warm in July.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Milan’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 Rock Island County and the Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL metro.
