yeah, as i said in my post, it's roughly 85% MFH/15% SFH.
but i don't see how that affects anything. in my neighborhood if you have a 2,000 SF condo in a flat building next door to a 2,000 SF SFH bungalow that are similarly appointed, the bungalow is going to be ~50% more expensive because people are willing to pay for SFH.
generally speaking, SFH is more highly prized than MFH in american society (apples to apples).

the north shore burbs do indeed have pricey real estate, but it's not the leader in chicagoland, that honor goes to downtown chicago.
current $5M+ listings in chicagoland:
the city -
28 - downtown
6 - lincoln park
the burbs-
21 - north shore (old money)
3 - barrington (horse country)
3 - hinsdale/burr ridge (new money)
