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.

Can confirm. Just the other day I walked past a bar where some folks were smoking outside and the combination of “bar smell” with the added hint of cigarette really sent me back to my childhood.
