The Top 10 Best Illinois Cities to Live In [List]

Sorry, no stateline area city or town made the Top 10, though a few made the Top 100 list of the Best Places to live in Illinois.
The website, AreaVibes recently published best places to live in Illinois. It ranked each town in Illinois with a score of 0-100. A "Livability" score of 0 was the the worst and 100 was the best.

Areavibes says

The Livability Score for each city in Illinois is calculated from a unique algorithm based on various metrics, including: amenities, cost of living, crime, education, employment, housing and weather. Illinois has a population of 12,882,135 and a population density of 222.3. The capital city is Springfield and the largest city in Illinois is Chicago

HERE Are Illinois Top 10 most livable cities:

1 Winnetka, IL Population: 12,210

While it’s quite expensive to live in these cities – and impracticable for many families — another common denominator is the sub-par weather, but then again, this is Illinois.

The good news is that some stateline area communities made the Top 100
