It also typically costs more to live here than in nearby St. Charles or Batavia, and the housing market is competitive. Illinois is not a compact-license state, so you will need an Illinois license. State income tax is a flat 4.95%. If you are weighing options, nearby employers in our data include HealthForce Healthcare, Advocate Aurora Health, and Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.
