Reading the numbers
Marengo's 319 industrial acres put it in the middle of the regional range. Loads here are often a few dozen to a few hundred pallets at a time, so how many you have, and how they get on a truck, decides whether pickup is free.
IDES counted 2,827 private-sector jobs here in its 2025 Where Workers Work report. The two job counts measure different things (LEHD counts primary jobs, IDES counts covered private jobs), so read them as a range, not a trend.
Industrial property here carried $8.3 million of equalized assessed value in 2024 (Illinois Department of Revenue).
