The City of West Peoria and West Peoria Township encompasses approximately one and one-half square miles and according to the 2000 census, was populated by 4,762 persons. The 2000 census, the most recent data available for the following, also revealed that the majority, or 88.1 percent, of the population of West Peoria is white. The 11.9 percent minority population is primarily black. Nearly 22 percent of the population is under the age of 18, 20 percent are age 65 and over, and the remaining 58 percent are between the ages of 18 and 64.

    West Peoria is bounded on the east, north and south by the City of Peoria. The Kickapoo River valley extends along the area’s western boundary. The northern one-third of West Peoria is distinctively separate from the rest. The steep topography, wooded bluffs, Dry Run Creek’s floodplain, and Farmington Road (a major east/west arterial roadway) create physical barriers between the north and south portions of the community.
