What it’s like
The place. Warren is a small village in Jo Daviess County, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes run a little above the county's, and the typical home is modest in price. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being extreme. A fair amount of precipitation falls through the year, much of it as snow in the colder months.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, shops, schools and hospitals, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Jo Daviess County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, CVR Energy and Midwest Medical Center. The commute is fairly long, and some people work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. Apple River Canyon State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and so is the East Branch Pecatonica River. Millville, an archaeological site, is also a short drive. For a longer outing, Mississippi Palisades State Park is a longer drive away and offers more protected countryside to explore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Warren’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Jo Daviess County.
