I live in Chicago, which is a major city. So I’d say Chicago, believe it or not, I guarantee more people are familiar with the city than Illinois.

But if I lived somewhere else in Illinois, I’d say the state.

When I hear "Illinois", I think generic midwest--agriculture, some manufacturing. When I hear "Chicago", I think major metropolitan area. So you're pretty spot-on.
