Kenilworth is a very small village located in the state of Illinois. With a population of 2,494 people and just one neighborhood, Kenilworth is the 447th largest community in Illinois. Kenilworth has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.
Kenilworth is a decidedly white-collar village, with fully 98.97% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Kenilworth is a village of managers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Kenilworth who work in management occupations (25.54%), sales jobs (19.36%), and business and financial occupations (13.70%).

A relatively large number of people in Kenilworth telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 11.05% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
In addition, Kenilworth is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Kenilworth is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The village's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Kenilworth's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
One downside of living in Kenilworth is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Kenilworth, the average commute to work is 37.58 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average. On the other hand, local public transit is widely used in the village, so leaving the car at home and taking transit is often a viable alternative.
Even though Kenilworth is a smaller village, it has many people who hop on public transportation - mostly the train - for their daily commute to work. Typically, these people are commuting to good jobs in the surrounding cities.
