Champaign, IL (ZIP 61820) sits in Champaign County within the Champaign-Urbana metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 20.3%. NCES lists 12 schools serving the area, 12 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,440. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $55,216 per tax return.
