Illinois RDN data report · 2026 edition

The State of Illinois Housing

Illinois builds a fraction of the homes it built twenty years ago, its housing stock is among the oldest in the country, and the cost of owning it varies more by county than almost anything else about the house. This report brings the state's four public measures together — permits, property taxes, housing age and the rent-to-price ratio — into one reading.

Data through the latest release. Independent — not a government agency.
