What it’s like
The place. Vienna is a small city in southern Illinois and the seat of Johnson County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit at a modest level. Across Johnson County, household incomes are below the national picture, and few adults in town hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, shops, and restaurants and hotels close behind. Some of the largest workplaces in Vienna are Johnson County Government, Vienna HSD Schools and the Forest Service. Jobs across Johnson County grew over the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier. The typical commute is short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Cache River State Natural Area, Ferne Clyffe State Park and the River to River Trail are all a short drive away, and Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve is close by as well, so woods, wetlands and walking are easy to come by. Farther out, Shawnee National Forest is a longer drive away. Winters here are cold but not very snowy, summers are hot, and rain falls through much of the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Vienna’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Johnson County and the Carbondale-Marion, IL metro.
