Housing Owner-Occupied Median Value ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Chicago Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median owner-occupied home values in the Chicago metro area exhibit a strong north-to-south gradient, with the highest values—approaching or exceeding $1,000,000—concentrated along the North Shore lakefront near Evanston and extending into the northern suburbs, while areas south of the city, particularly around Gary, Hammond, and portions of Chicago's South Side near Englewood, fall well below $150,000. A secondary cluster of elevated home values emerges in the western suburbs around Naperville and portions of the corridor stretching toward Aurora, generally ranging from $250,000 to $400,000. The sharpest value contrasts occur within Chicago proper, where zip codes just north of The Loop command significantly higher median values than those immediately to the south and west, underscoring persistent intra-city disparities.
