General announcement

New Community Data Snapshots offer rich resource for northeastern Illinois

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) released a new set of Community Data Snapshots to help local leaders and the public track progress and make informed decisions in their communities. These data-rich snapshots — one for each of the region’s 284 municipalities, 77 Chicago neighborhoods, and 7 counties — summarize demographics, housing, employment, transportation habits, and other key details.

This year’s snapshots include new data on uninsured populations as well as county-level development. Significant data updates include housing and transportation costs comparisons and annual vehicle miles traveled.
