Instead of a sprawling suburban skirt that encircles the urban area, the urban area abuts large swaths of farmland, with small to medium-sized villages that originated as farming communities. But, as the willingness of professionals to commute longer distances has increased in recent decades, new residential developments have arisen on their edges, dotting the surrounding landscape. Some of these villages are home to as many as 5,000 residents or more, but most are significantly smaller. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana,_IL_sunset.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg/300px-East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg/450px-East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg/600px-East_Main_Street_at_Broadway_Avenue_Urbana%2C_IL_sunset.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3070" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>View of Downtown Urbana</figcaption></figure> <p>Most of these outlying communities, such as <a href="/wiki/Savoy,_Illinois" title="Savoy, Illinois">Savoy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mahomet,_Illinois" title="Mahomet, Illinois">Mahomet</a>, <a href="/wiki/St._Joseph,_Illinois" title="St. Joseph, Illinois">St. Joseph</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tolono,_Illinois" title="Tolono, Illinois">Tolono</a>, and arguably <a href="/wiki/Rantoul,_Illinois" title="Rantoul, Illinois">Rantoul</a> and <a href="/wiki/Monticello,_Illinois" title="Monticello, Illinois">Monticello</a> as well, are dependent on Champaign and Urbana for economic and infrastructure support.

Because higher paid professors, doctors and technology professionals who work for the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Illinois_Urbana%E2%80%93Champaign" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign">University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign</a>, the many clinics and hospitals in town, or in the Research Park, are more likely to maintain cars for commuting longer distances and to afford owner-occupied single-family housing, these areas lacking in mass transit and high-density rental projects often have a higher median household income than <a href="/wiki/Champaign,_Illinois" title="Champaign, Illinois">Champaign</a> or <a href="/wiki/Urbana,_Illinois" title="Urbana, Illinois">Urbana</a>. </p><p>In addition to residential developments in the surrounding, formerly agricultural communities, residential neighborhoods are also growing up in unincorporated areas within a short radius of the city limits, while the cities themselves are also expanding to annex areas of new development. While the annexed areas benefit from municipal services, developments that are willing to forego city sewer systems, libraries and police protection can enjoy the lower tax rates the surrounding townships levy, as fewer services are provided. Areas currently under construction extend as far as around Rising Road west of <a href="/wiki/I-57" class="mw-redirect" title="I-57">I-57</a> and north and east of <a href="/wiki/Willard_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Willard Airport">Willard Airport</a>.

In addition to arguments for and against development, the question of potential annexations, which remove property tax revenues from the surrounding townships while increasing the urban tax base (but also the demands on urban services) is a point of constant strife between the cities and the surrounding townships.
