I’m being honest when I say that this Illinois place doesn’t look like the richest city in the state, but I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s just that when you see a place that has a railroad going right through the middle of it, you don’t automatically equate that with wealth, but in this case it’s true.
This isn’t the result of some bloggers opinion or some new national internet ranking. I simply asked the database at USA.com to query its numbers and show me the richest Illinois cities based on per-capita income. Here are the top 20 results:
