What it’s like
The place. Roxana is a small village in Madison County, Illinois, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the typical home value is modest. Incomes run below the county's, and the people here tend to be somewhat older than in many places, with relatively few adults holding a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in restaurants and hotels, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Roxana are Roxana CUSD 1, the local school district, along with Allied Waste Transportation and Evergreen North America Industrial Services. Commutes are fairly short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Piasa is an archaeological site a short drive away. A longer drive takes you to Cahokia, another archaeological site, and to Gateway Arch National Park, where the Arch stands on the riverfront. The Missouri Botanical Garden and the Saint Louis Art Museum are also a longer drive away for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Roxana’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 Madison County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
