LOCAL INSIGHT
Aurora is the last Metra stop, 40 miles west of Chicago
A Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago profile calls Aurora the state's second largest city, about 40 miles west of Chicago in the Fox Valley and the final stop on the Metra line. Its population reached 197,899 in 2010, and nearly 40 percent of residents were minorities, with a significant and growing Hispanic population. The profile says Chicago, Schaumburg and Naperville drive growth here. Customers compare Aurora businesses with options in those places, so clear pages and strong listings help a local firm hold its ground.
The same profile names Caterpillar as the largest employer in 2014 and notes Chicago Premium Outlets, built in 2003 with 120 stores. Downtown has been rebuilt: the Hobbs Building now holds three restaurants and 33 apartments, East Bank Apartments are rising on North Broadway, and a $360 million Hollywood Casino resort near the outlets and I-88 was set to open in 2026. The Paramount Theatre and Phillips Park Zoo are on the city's attractions list. Visitors search by place, so listings need to be accurate.
Rankwyre sets up Google Maps and local listings for downtown Aurora restaurants and shops, and builds websites for Fox Valley manufacturers and contractors that sell across the Chicago area.
