What it’s like
The place. Taylor Ridge is a very small community in Rock Island County, Illinois, with few households and plenty of room between them. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Across Rock Island County, some of the largest workplaces are Tyson Fresh Meats, John Deere Harvester Works and Trinity Rock Island. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though there are somewhat fewer jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. The Rock River is a short drive away, and so are Black Hawk State Historic Site, a museum, and Ski Snowstar, a ski area that suits the snowy winters. Farther afield, the Figge Art Museum is 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 Taylor Ridge’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 Rock Island County and the Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL metro.
