What is Illinois's per-capita permit rate?

Illinois has 18.4 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 33rd by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Illinois city has the most permit holders?

Chicago leads Illinois with 679 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Elk Grove Village, Elgin, Bolingbrook.

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published April 2025, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.
