How this list was compiled: Every incorporated city, village and town of Illinois with 5,000 people or more on 1 July 2025: 330 of the state's 1,294, picked by that rule and not by hand. Each has the county that holds most of its people, its population and its place among all 1,294. Figures are the US Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 City and Town Population Totals (https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2025/cities/totals/sub-est2025.csv, read 2026-10-07). A place is called a city, a village or a town as that file names it. Places with the same estimate share the higher rank. A card says "mostly in" where under 95 in 100 of the people live in the county named. Illinois townships are not municipalities and are not on the list. The state capital was checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United_States the same day. Licence: Own work. Figures are US Census Bureau data, which is in the public domain; the wording of every line is ours.
