What it’s like

The place. Posen is a village in Cook County, home to a young community, with residents who are younger than in much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values and household incomes both sit below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, manufacturing and retail also employing many. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home, so most people travel to a job, with a commute that is fairly typical. In the village itself, the largest workplaces include Illinois Central School Bus, Posen-Robbins ESD Schools and Gremp Steel Company.

Things to do. Chicago's well-known places are a longer drive away. The Art Institute of Chicago is a museum, and Millennium Park is a garden in the heart of the city. Soldier Field is a stadium for those who like to catch a game.
