About the Community Data SnapshotsAbout the Community Data Snapshots
The Community Data Snapshots is a series of data profiles for every county, municipality, and Chicago Community Area (CCA)
within the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) seven-county northeastern Illinois region. The snapshots
primarily feature data from the American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates. All data sources are noted beneath each
table.
CMAP publishes updated Community Data Snapshots annually, usually in July. The latest version can always be found on the
CMAP website at cmap.illinois.gov/data/community-snapshots. Current and historical snapshot data is available in table
format at the CMAP Data Hub. Please direct any questions to info@cmap.illinois.gov.
To improve the Community Data Snapshots in the future, CMAP wants to hear from you! Please take a quick Please take a quick surveysurvey to
describe how you use this data and what you would like to see in next year’s snapshots.
User NotesUser Notes
DefinitionsDefinitions
For data derived from the ACS, the Community Data Snapshots uses terminology based on the ACS subject definitions.
Margins of ErrorMargins of Error
The ACS is a sample-based data product. Exercise caution when using data from low-population communities, as the margins
of error are often large compared to the estimates. For more details, please refer to the ACS sample size and data quality
methodology.
Regional ValuesRegional Values
Regional values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for the seven counties that compose the CMAP region. These counties
are Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will.
Chicago Community Area (CCA) ValuesChicago Community Area (CCA) Values
CCA values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for census tracts and block groups. Data from tracts and block groups
located in multiple CCAs is allocated proportionally based on the block-level distribution of population, households or
housing units (as appropriate) from the most recent Decennial Census.
Median ValuesMedian Values
The Census Bureau encourages users to aggregate small levels of geographies into larger areas to estimate median values for
those areas. Median values for the aggregated geographies (CCAs and the CMAP region) are estimated from the grouped
frequency distributions reported in the ACS.
Comparing ACS Data Across Past Community Data SnapshotsComparing ACS Data Across Past Community Data Snapshots
When using multiple releases of the CDS, please take care not to compare overlapping ACS 5-year estimates. The Census
Bureau provides specific guidance for when it is appropriate to compare ACS data across time. Please contact CMAP sta at
info@cmap.illinois.gov if you have additional questions.
