The Illinois Valley has a lot of ethnicities, and there are towns in the vicinity of Oglesby that have very large hispanic populations (DePue and Mendota come to mind). There is also an organization called the Illinois Valley Hispanic Partnership Council that serves the northern LaSalle County area.
In terms of Oglesby being a nice place to live in general, it really depends on what you are looking for. My mother was raised there, and my grandmother still lives there, so I spent much of my childhood there. It's a very small, sleepy town, with few local employment opportunities that aren't minimum wage or industrial. It is home to a decent community college that serves the region, and offers a lot of adult ed/community programs. It is nearby nice state and county parks. If you don't mind a sleepy little town with not a lot going on, built on the cement mill industry, you'll probably like it.
