Seriously, folks. Don't let BTroll1982 get away with this.
Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois all grew from 2010 to 2013, based on census estimates: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/1714000.html. I would also guess that median and mean income rose as people decamped from tougher neighborhoods on the south and west sides and more young professionals and other upwardly mobile types piled into the north and near west sides.
[[That said, Chicago is a ticking municipal finance time bomb, many measures worse than Detroit pre-BK)
