Some towns in Illinois have a little more sass to them than others do.

Being nice in the Midwest is very much a thing. We're willing to help out our neighbors with a chore or anything they need done and we'll go out of our way to be compassionate and kind. But not every city in Illinois fits that bill.

Every state has at least one (often several) towns that just seem to think they're better than everyone else, for whatever reason. Maybe they're wealthier, they have better job opportunities, or more events and stuff going on.

RoadSnacks did some number crunching and looked at what they labeled the "Snobbiest Places In Illinois". Specifically, they looked at:

  • Percent of the population with higher education
  • Median income
  • Median home price
  • Cost of living

Here are the top 3 snobbiest towns in Illinois. And (not surprisingly) I bet you can guess where a lot of them are.
