What it’s like
The place. Schiller Park is a village in Cook County, with a modest population. More of its homes are lived in by their owners than rented, though renting is common too. Household incomes in the village sit below the county's, and relatively few residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect in a big-city suburb, and the typical commute is a fairly short one. Winters are cold, coldest in January, with a good deal of snow, and summers turn warm, warmest in July, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in the village are Gate Gourmet, an airline food services contractor, Flying Food Fare, a caterer, and Schiller Park SD 81, the school district. Unemployment across Cook County is higher than a year ago, though the county has added a few more jobs. Very few residents work from home.
Things to do. The places residents head out to are a longer drive away. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the best known museums in the country, and Millennium Park is a city garden with public art and open lawn. Wrigley Field, the old ballpark on the north side, is another longer drive for baseball.
