Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 167 to 150 (-10%). Half of its homes were built before 1942.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Concord yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Concord is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Concord has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Joseph Duncan House in Jacksonville, 8.6 miles away.
