Interstate 88 can be easily accessed at the Peace Road interchange, and Illinois Route 47 is the nearest major north-south arterial only 7 miles away. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the Village had a population of 765. The current population is estimated at approximately 1,100 and the Village is applying for a special census.
