In Illinois, community colleges get some funding from the state but most of it comes from local property taxes. Tuition is higher for out-of-district students, just like tuition at state universities is higher for out-of-state students. Some of the colleges have setups where people who work in the district (but don't live in-district) can pay in-district tuition. I know College of DuPage has such an arrangement.
