What it’s like
The place. Monee is a village in Will County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share than most places. Household incomes sit below the county's, and typical home values are moderate for the area. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops and manufacturing. Within the village itself, the largest workplaces include Amazon, Molex and South Holland Metal Finishing Company. Commutes are on the long side, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. Several well-known places lie a longer drive away, among them SeatGeek Stadium, a stadium, and the Kenneth C. Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, a museum. For time outdoors, the Kankakee River is also a longer drive away.

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 Will County and the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI metro.
