What it’s like
The place. Tremont is a village in Tazewell County, home to a small community where people tend to know one another. The median age is a little on the younger side, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a bit above the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing a good number. Across Tazewell County, some of the largest workplaces are Morton Parts Distribution Center, Illinois Central College and Morton CUSD. Commutes are fairly short, and a share of people work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away, Pekin Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area is a park for time outdoors, and Little Mackinaw River offers a quiet stretch of water. Spook Hollow, a tourist attraction, is also a short drive away. For a day out, Peoria Zoo 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 Tremont’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.
