What it’s like
The place. Reddick is a very small village in Kankakee County, Illinois, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes in the village sit a little below the county's, and a typical home is valued well above what the household incomes here might suggest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July; snow falls most winters and the year is fairly wet overall.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Kankakee County, the largest workplaces include Riverside Medical Center, CSL Behring and Kankakee Schools. Most people commute some distance to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away is Mazonia/Braidwood State Fish and Wildlife Area, a protected area for time outdoors. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Kankakee River State Park, a protected area along the river, and to Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, another protected area. For something different, Chicagoland Speedway is a race track, also 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 Reddick’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Kankakee County and the Kankakee, IL metro.
