There are a few Amigans left in Illinois. There was a big users group in Champaign-Urbana. I still have my Amigas but use them very rarely.

You can find very cheap housing in the area as long as you don't move to northern Illinois. You would have to get used to 4 seasons, but, not many hurricanes here. :-D There are areas with a Klan mentality but not many. In fact the community I live in fits most of you criteria.

Decatur is a bout 50 miles SW of where I live. and Mt Vernon is about a 120 miles south. Decatur is a town of 50,000 or so.
If you have kids of school age I would not recomend it because
Schools are poor. Mt Vernon is much smaller and more rural.

Rantoul is a community of about 15,000 people. The population is very diverse because of the number of ex and retired military people here. Houses are relatively inexpensive and easy to find because of the population decrease after they closed the base (Chanute AFB). Business property is also cheap and easy to find for the same reason. We are about 15 miles north of Champaign-Urbana and so it easy to find bigger city attractions.

  I have not been in sothern Illinois for awhile but that area is very rural. Mt Vernon is about the same size as Rantoul. It is an agricultural area. I don't know about the schools down there though.

If you want info sent to you PM me and give me an address. Glad to do it. :-D
