| | Chicagoland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is no precise definition for the term "Chicagoland"; a common usage includes the city of Chicago, Cook County and the nine surrounding counties in the state of Illinois, five in Indiana, and one in Wisconsin. |
 | | The metro area comprises nine Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry, Kankakee, Kendall, and Grundy), the five Northwest Indiana counties (Lake, Porter, Jasper, Newton, and LaPorte), and one Wisconsin county (Kenosha County). |
 | | Naperville is noteworthy for being one of only a few boomburbs outside the Sunbelt, West Coast, and Mountain States regions (though Bolingbrook may join it in the next decade), and exurban Kendall County ranked as the third fastest-growing county in the United States with a population greater than 10,000 between 2004 and 2005. |
