Overview

Understanding ZIP code 60660

ZIP code 60660 is assigned to Chicago, IL, and falls within Cook County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 42,750 people live inside it.

At 33,556 residents per square mile spread over 1.274 square miles, 60660 reads as a dense urban area. It is a populous postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $66,206 puts 60660 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 43% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Living here

What life in Chicago looks like

Housing in 60660 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $287,500 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $1,286 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 37.4% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.

The building stock is dominated by mid-sized apartment buildings, which account for 40.5% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1951, making the housing here mid-century.

The population skews broadly in line with the national age profile, with a median age of 37.5 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.0 people, and 33.9% are family households.

Getting to work takes 38.3 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 35.1% of workers, while 28.5% take public transit, 21.8% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Chicago, IL

Chicago sits in a densely built environment, and accommodation in and around 60660 tends to reflect that — full-service hotels, boutique properties and serviced apartments packed close together, usually within walking distance of transit. Rates in dense urban codes move sharply with the calendar: midweek business demand and weekend leisure demand can price very differently.

Median rent in 60660 is $1,286 a month, which sits in the middle of the national range; accommodation pricing locally tends to be similarly mid-market. For reference, Chicago, IL is about 8.0 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses

What ZIP code 60660 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 60660 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.

For anyone weighing a move, 60660 offers a compact profile of Chicago: 42,750 residents, a median household income of $66,206, 57.1% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 6.1%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 60660 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Chicago may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.

Does 60660 cover more than one city or county?
This page lists Chicago as the primary place and Cook County as the county.

If you need the definitive answer for a specific street address, the USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the authority.
Can ZIP code 60660 change?
Yes. USPS adjusts ZIP codes as delivery volumes shift — codes are occasionally split, merged, retired or newly created, and boundaries move more often than most people assume. The Census Bureau's ZCTA definitions, which underpin the demographic figures on this page, are redrawn only once a decade, so the two can drift apart between censuses.

On accuracy. ACS figures are survey estimates, not counts. The margin of error shown alongside the population figure means the true value has a 90% chance of falling in that range. For small ZIP codes the error can be large relative to the estimate — treat the direction as more reliable than the exact number.
