Using Chicago Fact Finder

Information in Chicago Fact Finder is primarily organized by geographic area and can be examined for persons of different racial and ethnic groups in each area. You can search for information about any of the 77 community areas of Chicago and for 59 towns and villages of suburban Cook County. You also can search for information about the City of Chicago as a whole, and for the following six Chicagoland counties: Cook, DuPage, McHenry, Will, Kane, and Lake. Find the community for which you would like information by scrolling across the maps or by clicking on a Chicago community area or Cook County town from the lists.

For each community, data are provided in user-defined tables under the following categories:
• General Population Data
• Children’s Data
• Education
• Language
• Income
• Labor Force and Industry
• Housing
• Immigration

You then can examine how persons of different racial and ethnic groups compare on several indicators in each of these categories, as well as any trends that might be apparent by juxtaposing data from 1990 and 2000.
