How this list is built

We track at least 1,362 creators with a verified home base in Chicago, part of a live database of 2.3M+ creators. This page lists the 40 largest by audience whose profile and metrics verified on the last refresh. Engagement rate is likes plus comments divided by followers. Average views come from recent posts. Nothing here is hand-picked and a place on the list is not a recommendation: it is the top of the list by size, and the engagement band on each card is there so you can judge for yourself.

Home base comes from the creator’s own location, not from where they post about. This page shows public Instagram data only. If you’re listed and want changes or removal, email hello@sup.co and we’ll act on it fast.
