What it’s like
The place. Roselle is a village in DuPage County, in the Chicago area, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are close to the county's, and the people who live here are somewhat older than in many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn properly warm by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Some of the largest workplaces in Roselle are The M&R Companies, which makes printing machinery for textiles, Sternberg Lighting, and Pentair, which makes water purification equipment. Commutes are fairly typical for the Chicago area, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The big attractions are in the city, a longer drive away. The Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum of Natural History are among the best known museums, and Millennium Park is a garden and public space downtown. Sports fans can also head to Soldier Field or Wrigley Field, both 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 Roselle’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 DuPage County and the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI metro.
