can anyone comment how often that is used by people in the region?

Frequently, though it’s mostly informal shorthand for “the greater Chicago metropolitan area”, you probably wouldn’t say “I live in Chicagoland” unless you were intentionally being vague.

Not in front of people from ACTUAL Chicago. They're REALLY touchy about that afair..
