What it’s like
The place. Rosiclare is a very small city on the Illinois side of the Ohio River, in Hardin County. Household incomes here run below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical nationally. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with only a little snow, and summers are hot; the year is a wet one, with plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, farming, forestry and mining, and manufacturing following behind. Across Hardin County, the largest workplaces are Hardin County General Hospital, the Hardin County school district and Axiom Healthcare of Rosiclare, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. The Orr-Herl Mound and Village Site, an archaeological site, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Lusk Creek, a stream worth exploring, and the Tolu Site, another archaeological site. For a longer outing, Shawnee National Forest is a protected area 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 Rosiclare’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Hardin County.
