Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Chicago Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median rents peak above $2,500 in the northern suburbs along the North Shore corridor near Evanston and extending into the far northwest exurbs, while a cluster of high-rent zip codes also appears in the western suburbs around Naperville and portions of the Aurora area. The lowest rents, falling below $750, concentrate in the south side of Chicago around Englewood, in Gary and Hammond on the Indiana side, and in scattered pockets near Joliet and the far southern reaches of the metro. A notable contrast exists within Chicago proper, where zip codes near The Loop and the lakefront command substantially higher rents than those just a few miles south or west, underscoring sharp intra-city affordability divides.
