Chicago Wards

The method, developed in our longstanding partnership with the Nathalie P. Voorhees Center for Neighborhood Improvement, analyzed data from the 2020 Census using the new ward boundaries.  To show neighborhood level change, trends are reflected from a comparison to 2010 data using 2015 ward boundaries.
