Algonquin is a center of transportation for McHenry and Kane Counties. As a result, it can encounter significant traffic backups, particularly on these high-traffic roadways:

* Randall Road is a major multi-lane highway serving the village's western side. The road is entirely lined with major outdoor shopping malls, big-box retailers, restaurants, and a major corporate center which serve the region. Near the village's malls, the road is six lanes wide.
* Illinois Route 31, is a major north-south road going through the heart of the village's downtown. Most of the downtown shops are located along Route 31. Because of this, widening is not an option to ease traffic congestion, so a western 31 bypass of the village's downtown is planned.
* Illinois Route 25, a north-south road on the village's eastern side which ends at Illinois Route 62. It connects the village to Carpentersville, Elgin, and the rest of the Fox River Valley suburbs to its south.
* Illinois Route 62/Algonquin Road is considered the village's only major east-west artery. As a result it is locally infamous for its westbound backups, particularly at rush hour. A 4-lane road, it connects the village to Huntley on the west and other major northwest suburbs like Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, and Des Plaines on the east.

The 2003 Special Census showed a population of 27,885. Algonquin is a very fast growing suburb about 50 west of Chicago.

Algonquin has a fine reputation for good schools. The local school districts are 158 and 300 serving students from elementary age through high school.
