It's all Cu now. They just replaced all the underground cables in our subdivision. Big stuff. 200A service is the residential standard these days (we had 400A at the office).

I don't know what Chicago Codes are like now, but Comm Ed pulled Al conductors to my meter when I requested 100A service, and they refused to pull Cu.
