We located the right suburb for a Mobile Audiences deep dive: the suburb of Naperville, Illinois, just west of Chicago. The town features a sprawling outdoor history museum that depicts life in Naperville’s early days, but with a population of almost 150,000, it’s a thoroughly modern city. In Naperville, the median age is 35 and a median family income is $127,5541. The town has a vibrant Main Street shopping area as well as a commercial district with major big-box retailers. These are stats we love to look into, so we decided to study Naperville for two weeks to discover what kind of audiences can be found there.
