First-order political boundaries in approximately January 1925. Accompanying dbf file shows status of each political unit. Disputed areas generally have their own polygons. Author of file is Sam Brown. Name of the shapefile is WorldBorders1925.shp

This data set contains a complete list of crimes committed in Chicago between the years 2001 – 2019 (inclusive), and was studied by Sainsbury-Dale, Zammit-Mangion, and Cressie (2021). The data were provided by the Chicago Police Department and originally downloaded from the now retired open data source website, Plenario. Before pre-processing, the data set contained 7,138,725 observations. However, 68,904 observations did not have a location recorded and were removed. A further 163 observations were removed as they were recorded at coordinates (36.619446395, -91.686565684), which is on the border of Missouri and Arkansas (certainly not in Chicago, Illinois). This left 7,069,658 valid observations.

This map service, utilizing data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), displays Hazardous Material Routes in the United States. The data in this map is specifically for all roads, highways and interstates, defined as Hazardous Material Routes. At state and national levels, the user can see the national network of these routes and the differences in coverage and expanse by state. At the county and city level, the road symbol changes to include a black border so roads may be better defined against basemap roads. Selecting a feature will bring up a pop-up window indicating the name of the road and highlight all sections of that road, highway, or interstate that are defined as a hazardous material route. Data for this map was obtained through the National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD) 2012 and is maintained by the Department of Transportation.-----------------The Civic Analytics Network collaborates on shared projects that advance the use of data visualization and predictive analytics in solving important urban problems related to economic opportunity, poverty reduction, and addressing the root causes of social problems of equity and opportunity.

This dot map shows three kinds of urban transitions. First, there are indeed areas where changes take place at very precise boundaries — such as between Lawndale and the Little Village, or Austin and Oak Park — and Chicago has more of these stark borders than most cities in the world. But transitions also take place through gradients and gaps as well, especially in the northwest and southeast. Using graphic conventions which allow these other possibilities to appear takes much more data, and requires more nuance in the way we talk about urban geography, but a cartography without boundaries can also make simplistic policy or urban design more difficult — in a good way.

In 2021, the number of aircraft operations registered at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport amounted to ******* operations, which represented a year-over-year increase of around ***** percent as borders started to reopen throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. During the same year, the passenger traffic at O'Hare International reported a growth of ***** percent.

Traffic collected from the Merit border router at Chicago. This real-world traffic is currently collected without packet sampling. Combined with the Netflow-1 and Netflow-3 datasets, it describes the majority of ingress and egress traffic of the Merit Network.

State of Illinois Senate Congressional district boundaries in Chicago. To view or use these files, compression software and special GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS, is required

Created for all users to view and understand Congressional District boundaries within Cook County, Illinois. The Congressional Districts will be effective on January 11, 2023 and are based on the 2020 Census. Congressional Districts are federal districts represented by the United States House of Representatives.The Congressional Districts were received from the Illinois State Board of Elections via download on Jan. 21, 2022 from the following webpage: https://www.elections.il.gov/agencyforms/Redistricting%202022%20Shape%20Files/Cook County GIS projected the data in the local datum: NAD 1983 StatePlane Illinois East FIPS 1201 (US Feet). Cook County GIS also trimmed the districts using the Cook County boundary to only show the districts within the border of Cook County.

The Grand Calumet River is located east of Chicago, Illinois and flows east to west across the Indiana-Illinois border to its confluence with the Little Calumet River. In 2017, a suite of water level, temperature, and bathymetric data were collected along the Grand Calumet River. Water level and water temperature were continuously monitored at five locations in the Grand Calumet River between late February and early November 2017, using Van Essen Mini-Diver DI 501 dataloggers (herein referred to as "Mini-Divers"). The Mini-Divers are submersible instruments with sensors for measuring and recording water pressure and temperature. Atmospheric pressure in the area was continuously monitored during this time period using a Van Essen Baro-Diver pressure transducer. The water pressure data from the Mini-Divers were compensated for variations in atmospheric pressure and converted to water levels.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.
