Description
Using measurements taken from the 1970 census, this atlas of Chicago, Illinois provides a visual reference guide to various demographics of the Windy City. Over 260 various metropolitan areas around the United States were covered by similar publications, issued jointly by the United States Departments of Commerce and Labor, with input from the Census Department and UC Berkeley.
Each atlas contains numerous maps showing population statistics like age, race, income, education, homeownership, and occupation. With each category, Chicago is split between north and south along Roosevelt Road, providing a dramatic visual contrast between the two historically dichotomous areas. Though today significant improvements can be seen in many areas, there remains a sharp regional divide in many of the categories listed above.
