Neighborhoods of Chicago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The neighborhoods of Chicago lay within Chicago's seventy-seven community areas. These community area designations are not governmental, but are based on the names given by the Social Science Research Committee at the University of Chicago in the 1920s for purposes of a long-term population study (including census data). Chicago's neighborhoods change as a result of gentrification and immigration. Chicago contains some of the most culturally rich communities in the United States. Each neighborhood in Chicago maintains a unique identity and because of this, two different neighborhoods could seem like different parts of the world. One neighborhood might have multi-million dollar condominiums with a yuppie population and another bordering neighborhood could have an impoverished immigrant ethnic contingency with street side fruit and vegetable marketplaces. Listed below are Chicago's 77 officially defined community areas. The ever-changing nature of each area means that the designations given in the 1920s may not still be in common use. Residents and realtors tend to assign new names as neighorhoods evolve. Often, two residents of the same neighborhood, even the same block, will describe different neighborhood boundaries, which may be based on zip codes, ethnic groupings, or simply personal opinion.
