发帖数: 435 | 1 This article, the sixth in a 50-state series, ranks the best places to live
in Illinois based on three criteria: (1) median household income (adjusted
for cost of living); (2) educational attainment (% of residents 25 years and
over who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher); and (3) property crime
rates per 1,000 residents (burglary and automobile thefts). For purposes of
these rankings, "places" are incorporated municipalities with populations
greater than 2,000.
The twenty best places to live in Illinois are suburbs of Chicago and exurbs
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By county, ten of the best places to live in
Illinois are located in Lake County, six in Cook County, and several
straddle various counties, including Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, and McHenry.

to the FBI or they contract for services with a county law enforcement
agency or the state police. For those towns, crime rates are extrapolated
from state, county, or contiguous municipality data. |
