Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Illinois

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Chicago metropolitan area in northeastern Illinois exhibits the most pronounced demographic diversity, with numerous zip codes falling below 40% non-Hispanic white population, particularly on the city's south and west sides where several zip codes drop below 10%. Rural and suburban downstate Illinois is overwhelmingly yellow, indicating non-Hispanic white percentages above 90% across most zip codes, with notable exceptions around urban centers such as Springfield, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, and the East St. Louis area near the southwestern border. The southern tip of the state near Cairo also displays lower non-Hispanic white percentages, creating a secondary cluster of diversity distinct from the dominant Chicago-area pattern.
