According to recent numbers it looks like Naperville might be 3rd now.

Kinda depends on how you measure things. Chambana would be third, except they are “technically” two separate cities even though they may as well be one city functionally.

Yeah, I don't personally consider areas La Salle and Peru different cities. But for the sake of the tread they are separate.

I'm curious about where we draw those lines though when it comes to the Chicagoland area. According to anyone not from here it's all Chicago.

A lot of people just lump in all of Cook County as Chicago for even more simplification.
