[yourpalincal]

Northbrook,Glenview,Buffalo Grove vs Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Plymouth

Are they COMPARABLE? That is my MAIN QUESTION. ARE THEY SIMIALAR AND IS ONE "GROUP" MORE RURAL OR SUBURBAN than the other?

Thanks

I don't think you can compare them. Chicago suburbs are like ununified little cities. There are a bunch of regions and those regions are composed of towns.

Here is an example:
Population of towns in NW Suburbs
Bartlett- 36,840
[SIZE=3]Streamwood-36,732[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Schaumburg- 74,511[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Hoffman- 50,352[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Hanover Park- 38,278[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]South Barrington- 3,729[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Barrington Hills- 4,162[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Barrington- 10,018[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Inverness- 6,374[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Palatine- 65,156[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Rolling Meadows- 24,618[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Arlington Heights- 76,098[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Mount Prospect- 56,706[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Elk Grove- 34,758[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Prospect Heights- 17,541[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Wheeling- 34,411[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Buffalo Grove- 42,591[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Long Grove- 6,735[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Kildeer-3,460[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Deer Park- 3,102[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Des Plaines- 58,695[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Total= 684,777 [It would be the 16th largest city in America; between Columbus, OH & Austin, TX] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Streamwood, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, and Hanover Park (my area) have 199,873 people giving it more people than Orlando, FL. [/SIZE]
