Average Geographic Mismatch Error : 0.00 p.p. Geographic mismatch error comes from Census geographic boundaries not perfectly aligning with community area boundaries. We can test how much mismatch error skews community area statistics for a subset of variables. For this community area , the average error is 0.00 percentage points. More detail is available on the community area geography page , and the methodology page explains geographic mismatch error in more detail.

Note: Children under 18 in households, excluding householders, spouses, and unmarried partners. Household types are classified by the “householder” — typically the person who owns or rents the home. In some circumstances, someone classified as a single parent could have another familial relationship to the child — for instance, a grandmother raising a child alone. Similarly, it is possible that a grandmother is the householder and counted as a single-parent household, while married or cohabiting parents also reside in the home and primarily raise the children.

Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s household income brackets. If a percentile of household income is above $200,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $200,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $265,012 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $245,398 for 2015–19.

Note: ‘Full-time, year-round’ means usually working 35 or more hours per week for 50 or more weeks in the past 12 months. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: Includes all workers who reported earnings in the past 12 months, regardless of full-time or part-time/part-year work status. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Monthly Housing Costs

Category Washington Park
10th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs $369±$72
25th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs $674±$133
Median Monthly Housing Costs $1,197±$71
75th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs $1,613±$99
90th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs $1,972±$120
Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s monthly housing cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly housing costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars). It has been $3,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $3,681 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Note: Rent is what renters pay their landlord; Rent plus Utilities adds the estimated cost of utilities renters pay separately. Rent plus Utilities is the better comparison, since some units include utilities in the rent and others bill them separately. Both reflect what current renters pay, not asking rents. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s rent brackets and describe units that pay cash rent. If a percentile of rent is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars). It has been $3,500 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $4,294 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Note: Home values are self-reported by owners of owner-occupied housing units. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s home value brackets. If a percentile of home values is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $1,000,000 in 2010–14 ($1,325,058 in 2024 dollars). It has been $2,000,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $2,453,983 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Area median income is calculated by HUD for the surrounding metropolitan area, not for this neighborhood. The “With Children” measure is available only for 2020–2024; it is shown as blank for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019 in historical views. In Count view, household counts are estimated by applying each share to the number of HUD-assisted households in this neighborhood.
