Chicago is the economic capital of the Midwest — a diversified powerhouse in finance and derivatives trading (the CME/CBOT), corporate headquarters, transportation, and a massive professional-services and tech market competing at national scale.
The Chicago business landscape
Chicago is home to about 2,721,308 residents in Cook County, one of several nearby markets we build for. Here’s what the local business picture looks like.
CBP reports at county level; figures are for Cook County, not the city alone. There are 134,513 business establishments here — about 26 per 1,000 residents. In a market that size, the businesses that show up first on Google and in AI search win the calls.
