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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Chicago metropolitan area in the northeastern corner of the state dominates the high end of the rent spectrum, with several zip codes exceeding $2,000–$2,500 per month, while surrounding suburban areas display a gradient stepping down through the $1,250–$1,750 range. Central and southern Illinois zip codes are predominantly in the $500–$750 range, with scattered pockets of moderately higher rents near university towns and regional centers such as Champaign-Urbana and Springfield. The starkest contrast exists between the affluent North Shore suburbs along Lake Michigan and the deeply rural southern third of the state, where median rents in some zip codes fall below $500.
