Welcome To The Richest City In The State Of Illinois

With an average household income of $458,988 and a population of just over 12,000, the richest city in Illinois is a place where you might mistake the local grocery store for a high-end boutique.

I wouldn't know what it's like to live in a wealthy city since I've been in Rockford, Illinois my entire life. I'm rich in personality, positivity, and love, but none of those pay my bills, do they?

Rockford didn’t even crack the top 20 richest cities list. You know what it feels like, though? Living on the outskirts of a lavish party; we might not be inside sipping champagne, but we can definitely hear the rich laughter.
