Suburbs Geography

Chicagoans are increasingly spreading into the suburbs, many of which are growing rapidly. Home to over five million people, Chicago suburbanites bask in the opportunities of the city, yet identify with the communities in which they live. They feel a connection with the city’s culture and financial offerings, and are as diverse in age, culture and race as the city itself.
