Bars: average home price (same color scale as the map). The thin line and “vs. IL avg.” use the Illinois average of the same period — 2024 for yearly figures, 2026 so far for monthly ones. “vs. 2024” compares this year’s monthly average with the 2024 annual average. Click a column header to sort. Small utilities that report only totals are left out.
