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.

I would have imagined that people would just call it all "Chicago":-)

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