Housing % of Units Built Since 2010, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Illinois

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The collar counties surrounding Chicago—particularly areas in Kendall, Will, and Kane counties—display notably higher shares of post-2010 housing construction, with several zip codes exceeding 20%, reflecting sustained suburban growth pressure on the metropolitan fringe. Central and southern Illinois zip codes are predominantly in the 0–4% range, indicating minimal new residential development, though scattered pockets of moderate construction (8–12%) appear near Springfield, Champaign-Urbana, and along the Metro East corridor adjacent to St. Louis. The starkest contrast exists between the deep purple zip codes of rural western Illinois, where virtually no new housing has been built, and the bright green and yellow clusters in exurban Chicago, underscoring the state's highly uneven distribution of residential growth.
