Population
Table 1-10 is new to the Illinois Statistical Abstract. This table contains the
components of population change in Illinois since the 1990 Census of Population.
Since that time births have outpaced deaths by nearly two to one, but net
domestic migration has drained over 400,000 people from the state. Table 1-12
provides updated poverty statistics for 1993. The poverty rate for all ages in
Illinois was 13.4 percent, below the national rate of 15.1 percent. The Illinois
rate for persons under the age of 18 was also below the national average but was
20.4 percent. New statistics about the age of the Illinois population are
available in Table 1-7. Race and ethnicity data have been updated in Table 1-8.
Data from the 1990 Census of Population on Marital Status by sex were published
in previous editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract. These data are
available upon request from the Office of Research, address on page ii.

Housing
In real dollars, the median sale price of an existing home in Illinois was
unchanged between 1996 and 1997. The most notable exception to this trend was
the city of Rockford where median housing prices fell nearly 3.5 percent in real
terms. Housing characteristics such as these are provided in Section 2. Table
2-15 data are from the Illinois Association of Realtors. All other data are from
the 1990 Census of Population and Housing.

Health & Vital
Statistics
Data on long-term care facilities in Tables 3-9, 3-10 and 3-11 are new to the
Illinois Statistical Abstract. Table 3-9 provides data on the number of
residents in these facilities by illness. In 1996, there were 9,827 Alzheimer's
patients in these facilities. Table 3-10 provides personnel data for long-term
care facilities. In Illinois, registered nurses at these facilities outnumbered
doctors nearly 13 to 1 in 1996. Table 3-11 provides information on the number of
licensed long-term care beds. Data on the number of deaths by cause, previously
published in the Illinois Statistical Abstract, are no longer available. The
1998 data for Table 3-7, Licensed Health Care Professionals, were not available
at the time of publication.

Secondary graduates from Illinois public schools decreased by 0.3 percent
between the 1994-95 and 1995-96 school years while secondary enrollment
increased 0.9 percent. The number of secondary graduates has vacillated on a
two-year cycle since the 1990-91 school year. Elementary enrollment increased by
1.1 percent between the same school years. In addition to these enrollment
changes, expenditures on instruction increased 4.6 percent.

Total enrollment at Illinois higher education institutions increased by 0.6 percent in 1997. This was due to an increase of 4,405 community college students. Both public and private institutions had slight decreases in enrollment. Enrollment patterns and student characteristics are outlined in Tables 5-1 through 5-12. Tables 5-13 through 5-22 contain information on degrees conferred; Tables 5-23 through 5-28 provide faculty data; Tables 5-29 through 5-31 summarize the financial condition of Illinois colleges and universities.

Labor Force
Six Illinois counties had double digit inflation rates in 1997. Two of
these six counties experienced an increase in the unemployment rate between 1996
and 1997. The Jasper county unemployment rate increased the most with a jump
from 7.5 percent in 1996 to 12.03 percent in 1997. Most of the Jasper county
increase is due to a loss of 236 manufacturing jobs as reported in Section 7,
Employment by Industry. The first six tables of Section 6 provide the
unemployment rate and its components for Illinois counties and cities.
Data on the number of unemployed were discontinued in the 1995 Illinois
Statistical Abstract to allow the inclusion of longer time series of data and
labor force statistics by city. Users may calculate the number of unemployed by
subtracting employment from labor force. These data are also available from the
Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Illinois, at the address
listed on page ii.

Employment by Industry
Total employment in Illinois increased 2.2 percent in 1997, the fifth straight
year of employment increases. In percentage terms, the increase in farm
employment outpaced nonfarm employment, but as a whole, farm employment is still
less than 2 percent of the state's total. In 1996 the Bureau of Economics
Analysis reestimated all county level data. Therefore, data in the 1998 Illinois
Statistical Abstract is not comparable to some previous editions. Similarly,
state summary data contained in Table 7-1 is also not comparable to editions of
the Illinois Statistical Abstract prior to 1997.

Employment,
Weekly Earnings, & Weekly Hours
Real weekly earnings in manufacturing have decreased over the past ten years in
Illinois, following the trend for the entire country. Only two metropolitan
statistical areas saw positive real earnings changes: Kankakee and
Bloomington-Normal. Employment, hours, and earnings data are comparable to data
in Section 8 of the 1994 through 1997 editions of the Illinois Statistical
Abstract. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics updated some of the tables in
1995 to 1992 MSA definitions. Those using data from before 1992 should carefully
read the footnotes for each table.

Personal Income
& Earnings
Per capita personal income in Illinois rose to $27,929 in 1997, a 1.7% increase
in real terms from 1996. Personal income is the income received from all sources
by the residents of a given area; it is a broader measure than earnings.
Earnings include only labor income and exclude income sources such as interest,
dividends, and transfer payments. In 1993 the Bureau of Economic Analysis
reestimated all county level data. Therefore, data in the 1993 through 1998
editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract are not comparable to those in
previous editions. Similarly, the BEA reestimated all state summary data in
1996. Therefore, data in Table 9-1 of the 1997 and 1998 editions is not
comparable to previous editions.

Farm Income &
Expenditures
Illinois crop receipts increased 12 percent from 1996 to 1997. The largest
increases occurred in corn and soybeans while sorghum and oats receipts
decreased slightly. Receipts from livestock dropped slightly in 1997 due to
decreases in all types of livestock. Table 10-1 summarizes these trends
for the state and the remaining tables provide county level estimates. Tables
10-2 through 10-7 cover farm receipts; Tables 10-8 through 10-15 provide expense
data; and Tables 10-16 through 10-21 detail inventory changes and net farm
income estimates. In 1993 the Bureau of Economic Analysis reestimated all
county level data using a 1969 base. Therefore, data in the 1993 through 1996
editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract are not comparable to those in
previous editions. Similarly, in 1996 the data in Table 10-1 was reestimated for
all years therefore data in the 1998 Illinois Statistical Abstract may not be
comparable with previous editions.

Transfer Payments
Total transfer payments in Illinois reached $46.6 billion in 1997. Much of the
increase came from higher transfers for medical care, both Medicare and
Medicaid. Despite the general increase, transfers for unemployment insurance
fell 29.3 percent. Table 11-1 is a ten-year summary of Illinois state data
while Tables 11-2 through 11-7 provide county data on various payment types.
Tables 11-8 through 11-19 provide information about the recipients of transfer
payments. These tables also contain estimates of transfer payments that may be
compared with the number of recipients. However, due to the use of different
time periods or estimation methods, these estimates are likely to differ from
the estimates in Tables 11-1 through 11-7. In 1993 the Bureau of Economic
Analysis reestimated all county level data using a 1969 base. Therefore, data
published in editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract prior to 1993 are not
comparable to those in this edition. Similarly in 1996 the BEA reestimated all
state summary tables. Thus data in Table 11-1 of the 1998 Illinois Statistical
Abstract is not comparable to some previous editions.

Gross State Product
Real gross state product (GSP) continued to rise in all industries through 1997.
However, projections through 2001 suggest that after the turn of the century,
GSP will begin to decline. GSP is the state counterpart of U.S. Gross
Domestic Product and is regarded as the most comprehensive measure of production
for a state. Nominal GSP, provided in Table 12-1, reflects the yearly market
value of the state's output. Real GSP, provided in Table 12-2, is adjusted for
inflation so that annual changes more accurately reflect changes in physical
output. The source of these data is the Illinois Econometric Model
maintained by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, Office of Research,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In previous editions of the Illinois
Statistical Abstract, historical Gross Domestic Product data were obtained from
another source; therefore the data in this section are not comparable to 1994
and earlier editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract. All real GSP
data are now in 1992 constant dollars. Therefore, data in the 1998 Illinois
Statistical Abstract are not directly comparable with editions prior to 1996.

Consumer
Price Index & Inflation Rates
Inflation remained at very low levels in 1997. The rates in all major categories
for the U.S. fell from the previous year except Apparel and Upkeep, which saw
0.2 percent deflation in 1996 but 0.9 percent inflation in 1997. The most
precipitous fall came in Energy, where the inflation rate fell 72 percent during
the course of the year. Beginning with 1997, the North Central region was
renamed Midwest Urban. Within the new Midwest Urban region, the population size
subcategories, B and C, are now combined with a base year 1996=100.

Business Activity
Nonbusiness bankruptcies continued to skyrocket in 1997, up 18 percent since
1996 and 72 percent since 1994. Business bankruptcies remained somewhat constant
over the same period. Continued strong economic performance is reflected
in the downward trend of downtown office vacancy rates. In Chicago, the rate as
of June 1998 reached its lowest point since December of 1989 at 11.1 percent.
Still, this rate is above the national average of 9.7 percent.

Building Permits
Newly authorized, privately-owned housing units fell 6.6 percent in 1997, driven
mostly by a fall in one unit housing. Despite the fall, new authorizations are
still up 41 percent since 1991 when the market bottomed out. Authorizations for
housing with five or more units increased in 1997, led by changes in three
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. In the Campaign-Urbana, these authorizations
increased from 137 to 838. In Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, they increased from
204 to 659, and in Decatur, they jump from zero to 132. Most other MSAs had
slight decreases.

Exports
& Export-Dependent Employment
Canada imported $9.6 billion in Illinois goods in 1997, up from $8.1 billion and
leading all importing nations. Germany, Japan, Mexico and the United Kingdom
also import more than $1 billion each in Illinois goods. The leading categories
of exports were industrial machinery, computer equipment (SIC 35) and electronic
and electric equipment (SIC 36). Time series for Tables 16-1 and 16-2 are

Agriculture
Foreign ownership of Illinois land fell slightly between 1995 and 1996, but
Germany remained the largest foreign landholder with over 80,000 acres. Cash
receipts for corn and wheat rose between 1994 and 1995 while soybeans fell. The
fall in soybeans is the first since 1991 and reflects the lower yield that year
of 39 bushel per acre. Yields in 1997 for corn and soybeans are relatively
unchanged from 1996, but the yield for wheat jumped from 38 to 61 bushels per
acre.

Section 18 presents data on manufacturing industries, by industry,
for Illinois in 1992. Data from the 1997 Census of Manufactures will be
available in 1999. The source of these data is the Census of
Manufactures, Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. Data for
previous economic census years were presented in earlier editions of the
Illinois Statistical Abstract and are available upon request from the Bureau of
Economic and Business Research, at the address on page ii. Employment data
in Section 18 are not directly comparable to employment data in other sections
of the Illinois Statistical Abstract. For an explanation of the differences in
the data, refer to Appendix III, Employment Data.

Services
The number of employees in most categories of services increased between
1994 and 1995. The largest gains were made in business services (SIC 73) and
engineering and management services (SIC 87). Data for this chapter come
from the 1992 Census of Services and from more recent employment and payroll
data provided by the Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of the
Census. Tables with data for 3-digit SIC codes were published in the 1996
Illinois Statistical Abstract. They are available on the Illinois Statistical
Abstract CD-Rom and are also available upon request from the Bureau of Economic

Wholesale Trade
This section presents some data on wholesale trade for Illinois in 1992.
New information from the 1997 Census of Wholesale Trade will be available in
1999. Tables with data for 3-digit SIC codes were published in previous editions
of the Illinois Statistical Abstract and are available upon request from the
Bureau of Economic and Business Research, address on page ii. Tables 20-4
through 20-6 contain 1994 and 1995 establishment, employment and payroll data
from the Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census.
Establishments that sell merchandise primarily to retailers, industries, other
commercial establishments, institutions, or professional business users are
classified under wholesale trade in the Standard Industrial Classification
system (Appendix II). Establishments that sell merchandise primarily for
personal/household consumption are classified as retail trade establishments.
However, lumber yards; paint, glass, and wallpaper stores; stationary stores,
and gasoline service stations are classified under retail trade unless they
serve only businesses or institutions.

Retail Trade
The number of mid-march employees in most sectors of retail trade
rose between 1994 and 1995. One of the few exceptions was in apparel and
accessory stores where the number fell by 3 percent. This section presents
some data on retail trade for Illinois in 1992. New information from the 1997
Census of Retail Trade will be available in 1999. Tables with data for 3-digit
SIC codes were published in previous editions of the Illinois Statistical
Abstract and are available upon request from the Bureau of Economic and Business
Research, address on page ii. Tables 21-10 through 21-17 contain 1994 and
1995 establishment, employment and payroll data from the Economics and
Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census. Establishments that
sell merchandise primarily for personal/household consumption are classified as
retail trade establishments in the Standard Industrial Classification system
(Appendix II). Establishments that sell merchandise primarily to retailers,

Retail Sales
Retail sales are estimated by the Bureau of Economic and Business
Research, University of Illinois, using county and municipal tax receipts
reported in Sales Tax Receipts Reported by Standard Industrial Code obtained
from the Department of Revenue, State of Illinois. Prior to 1997, the Department
of Revenue used "Kind of Business" instead of Standard Industrial
Codes to report different sectors of the tax receipt data. Thus, in Tables 22-2
through 22-6, data for years prior to 1997 are not directly comparable to 1997
data.

Finance,
Insurance, & Real Estate
In 1996, 64 percent of the loans in Illinois used real estate or
motor vehicles as collateral while 5 percent were unsecured. Loan amounts were
typically very small, though, with 84 percent of loans at less than $3,000.
Establishment data for financial institutions with 3-digit SIC codes were
published in the 1995 and 1996 editions of the Illinois Statistical Abstract.
These data are available upon request from the Bureau of Economic and Business
Research, University of Illinois, at the address on page ii. Tables 23-1
through 23-4 and 23-10 contain establishment data for financial institutions
from the Census of Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate from the Economics and
Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.
Data about insurance company operations are in Tables 23-5 through 23-7. Table
23-8 contains data about loans and information about credit unions appears in
Table 23-9.

Transportation
The number of people killed in motor vehicle accidents in Illinois
fell in 1996 to 1,477. Since peaking in 1988 when the maximum speed limit was
raised, deaths have fallen 21 percent. Most of the changes occurred in the more
densely populated metropolitan areas. The number of deaths in non-metropolitan
areas has remained relatively constant. Table 24-10 on safety belt usage
is new to the Illinois Statistical Abstract. In July 1997, the safety belt usage
rate was estimated at 64 percent. Large discrepancies were recorded on different
types of roadways with interstate usage as high as 75.5 percent and residential
usage only 58.7 percent.

Energy
Illinois energy consumption increased 9 percent in the five-year
period from 1991 to 1995. Reliance on petroleum has increased the most over this
period, but in the last year, natural gas and nuclear power have increased
sharply. Section 25 presents data on Illinois energy consumption and
energy production.

Public Finance
In Illinois, tax revenues rose 22 percent in fiscal year 1998. Sales
tax revenues led this increase rising from $4.99 billion in FY1997 to $ 7.77
billion in FY1998. Increased consumption due to the continuing economic
expansion is the most probable cause. Table 26-1 contains data for tax and
non-tax payments to all types of governments. Tables 26-2 and 26-3 present data
on the finances of the state government of Illinois. Table 26-4 contains federal
expenditures in many categories. Tables 26-5 and 26-6 contain local tax data
such as tax rates and property taxes

Crime & Law
Enforcement
The crime rate in Illinois fell 2.8 percent in 1997 to 5,245.8 crimes
per 100,000 people, continuing the downward trend started in 1994. Winnebago
leads Illinois counties with a crime rate of 7,961 crimes per 100,000 people.
Peoria, which led in 1996, saw a dramatic 12.5 percent fall in crimes in 1997.
Putnam and Brown counties are the two safest, both have crime rates of less than
800 per 100,000 people. Because data from the Department of Corrections
was available more quickly than in past years, the 1998 Illinois Statistical
Abstract contains crimes by county for both 1996 and 1997

Parks and Recreation
Revenues at most of the state's largest casinos fell in 1997. In
fact, total casino revenue for the state fell nearly 7 percent, the first
decrease in revenue since casinos began operating in Illinois. As a result,
casino tax revenue declined as well, falling nearly 6 percent over the same
period. Table 28-14, which contains data on participants and expenditures
in hunting and fishing, is new to the Illinois Statistical Abstract. The number
of hunters in Illinois decreased 5.5 percent between 1991 and 1996 though
expenditures by in-state hunters rose 66 percent in the same time period.
Fishing in Illinois has changed little over this five year period. The number of
anglers fell less than 1 percent, but the number of days fishing rose by 22
percent.
