Polygon vector map data covering city boundaries for Chicago, Illinois, containing 1 feature.

Boundary GIS (Geographic Information System) data is spatial information that delineates the geographic boundaries of specific geographic features..

This data typically includes polygons representing the outlines of these features, along with attributes such as names, codes, and other relevant information.

Boundary GIS data is used for a variety of purposes across multiple industries, including urban planning, environmental management, public health, transportation, and business analysis.

Available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

Current community area boundaries in Chicago. The data can be viewed on the Chicago Data Portal with a web browser. However, to view or use the files outside of a web browser, you will need to use compression software and special GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS (shapefile) or Google Earth (KML or KMZ), is required.

Neighborhood polygons used by the Cook County Assessor's Office for valuation and reporting. These neighborhoods are specific to the Assessor. They are intended to represent homogenous housing submarkets, NOT Chicago community areas or municipalities. These neighborhoods were reconstructed from individual parcels using spatial buffering and simplification. The full transformation script can be found on the Assessor's GitHub.

This map shows the population density in Chicago by census tracts in 2010. Population Density is measured by people per square mile. The red shape that pops up in the map is the location of DePaul University's Department of Geography.

This map is part of a collection of 10 maps showing the location of Presbyterian Churches in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago. The manuscript title is "The effects of subsity of Presbyterian Churches", by Henry Hughes Presler, and can be found at Mansueto Library, University of Chicago under the call number BX 10999. These maps have been outlined and vectorized as the originals, and points placed for location of churches as they were in the original. Call number for the maps: G4104.C6E1 1948.H6.

Drawn from Map 8 - Locations of Presbyterian churches and neighborhood houses in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago, by Census Tracts, 1930.

Selected variables from the most recent 5 year ACS Community Survey (Released 2023) aggregated by Ward. Additional years will be added as they become available. The underlying algorithm to create the dataset calculates the percent of a census tract that falls within the boundaries of a given ward. Given that census tracts and ward boundaries are not aligned, these figures should be considered an estimate. Total Population in this Dataset: 2,649,803 Total Population of Chicago reported by ACS 2023: 2,664,452 % Difference: %-0.55 There are different approaches in common use for displaying Hispanic or Latino population counts. In this dataset, following the approach taken by the Census Bureau, a person who identifies as Hispanic or Latino will also be counted in the race category with which they identify. However, again following the Census Bureau data, there is also a column for White Not Hispanic or Latino. The City of Chicago is actively soliciting community input on how best to represent race, ethnicity, and related concepts in its data and policy. Every dataset, including this one, has a "Contact dataset owner" link in the Actions menu. You can use it to offer any input you wish to share or to indicate if you would be interested in participating in live discussions the City may host.

The following dataset includes "Active Benchmarks," which are provided to facilitate the identification of City-managed standard benchmarks. Standard benchmarks are for public and private use in establishing a point in space. Note: The benchmarks are referenced to the Chicago City Datum = 0.00, (CCD = 579.88 feet above mean tide New York). The City of Chicago Department of Water Management’s (DWM) Topographic Benchmark is the source of the benchmark information contained in this online database. The information contained in the index card system was compiled by scanning the original cards, then transcribing some of this information to prepare a table and map. Over time, the DWM will contract services to field verify the data and update the index card system and this online database.This dataset was last updated September 2011. Coordinates are estimated.

Locations and contact information for Chicago primary care community health clinics (including all federally qualified health centers and similar community health centers that provide primary care and are open to the general community). Additional information can be found at: http://j.mp/QfZ7SP

CDPH anticipates that this list will be used in the following ways: 1) by residents who are in need of assistance in finding a primary care physician and clinic near their homes; 2) by social service and public sector service providers that want to link their consumers to primary care near their homes; 3) by health system and public health researchers who are interested in Chicago’s primary care and safety net provider landscape.

Clinics were excluded from this list if a) it is not specifically in their mission to care for underserved populations or b) if clinic services are only available to a narrowly defined population.

Disclaimers: This list is intended to be a working document of primary care clinics for underserved populations in Chicago. If you believe an entry on this list to be outdated, misrepresented, or otherwise in error, please contact healthychicago@cityofchicago.org.
