Five zones, Alton to Waterloo.
Each zone’s edition is mailed to its most affluent addresses, 25,000 a zone and 50,000 in St. Clair: 41 towns on the Illinois side of the St. Louis area.
The zones
Every zone and its towns
Living Local began in 2013 with one zone, Madison County South, and grew to six that cover the entire Metro East. Since the Holiday 2026 issue St. Clair North and St. Clair South mail as one St. Clair edition, so there are five. Advertise in one, several or all of them; all five together come with the regional discount.
