What it’s like
The place. Wyoming is a small city in Stark County, Illinois, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the pace is quiet. Typical home values sit well below what many buyers expect to pay in larger metro areas. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than is common across the country, and the commute to work is a modest one.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Stark County, the largest workplaces include Stark County CUSD, the school district, along with FMC, a pesticides manufacturer, and River Valley Cooperative, a farm supply business. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Spoon River and Rock Island Trail State Park are both a short drive away, offering river scenery and a protected corridor for walking or cycling. For a longer outing, the Peoria Zoo is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers turn warm, so the outdoor spots suit the milder seasons best.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wyoming’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 Stark County and the Peoria, IL metro.
