In previous versions, a linked image in Illustrator would display the colour space and effective PPI in the top bar. Now that there's the 'all-in-one' Properties panel in the new version, I can't find the effective PPI of an image.

Is there somewhere else in the program I can find that information now?

None of the answers so far have really answered the OP's question.

The question was about EFFECTIVE PPI, which is different than PPI.

PPI is the native PPI of a placed image
Effective PPI is the native PPI of the place image divided by the scale that it was placed at

Example: if I place a 300 ppi image, and scale it up to 200%, I've divided the PPI in half, giving me an effective PPI of 150 ppi.

Yes, all of the answers give the correct information.

Those places show the effective PPI.

Okay, then this is just one of many examples where Adobe doesn't use consistent verbiage across their apps. Because InDesign gives both Actual PPI and Effective PPI.
