Healthy South Chicago

South Chicago Community Area

Located on the southeast side of Chicago, South Chicago is located at the mouth of the Calumet River, and its neighbors include the community areas of South Shore, Avalon Park, Calumet Heights, East Side and South Deering.

The South Chicago community is the home of the first Mexican community in both Chicago and Illinois. It now has approximately 38,500 residents, of whom 68% are African American and 27% are Hispanic. Though difficult to measure, much evidence of an increasing undocumented immigrant population exists as well.
