Perhaps the greatest lure that Rockford, IL has is the quality of life of its residents. Unemployment, crime rate, and median home price numbers are all significantly lower than the vast majority of American cities, let alone those of Milwaukee and Chicago (the two nearest metropolitan areas). Rockford maintains a small town feel, but offers all the economic opportunities, cultural outlets, shopping, and amenities of a big city.
Rockford is recognized as a world leader in the production of machine tool and auto parts, and is a growing producer of aerospace components. However, Rockford’s economy is no longer tied to manufacturing. Over the last few decades, the city has diversified into many other enterprises. Agriculture remains a strong component, but it is overshadowed by the economic footprint of distribution centers, call centers, and various office and professional services businesses. In short, Rockford’s economy is strong today, and all indications are that the future is just as bright.
The people of Rockford are quite diverse. With significant Irish, German, Lithuanian, African American, Hispanic, and Vietnamese communities, Rockford offers a welcoming atmosphere for people of all races and ethnicities. With about the same number of people 14 and under and 55 and over, Rockford’s government and city services are equally dedicated to serving the needs of young families and retirees (the median age of Rockford residents was 34.4 at the 2000 Census).
All in all, Rockford is the kind of Midwest town that the Great Plains used to be full of. Manufacturing, agricultural, and professional job markets are strong, Community life is full of rich cultural, sports, and leisure activities, and the growing population is only adding to the great quality of life of Rockford’s residents. Rockford is a throwback to times thought long gone. Those who call Rockford home know that you can still buy a 3 bedroom homes for far less than $200,000, get good work, send your kids to good schools, and live your life without fear of all that normally comes with the metropolitan amenities Rockford offers.
