South Shore ranks 5th or 6th among neighborhoods with the highest percentages of those claiming Subsaharan African ancestry. Neighborhoods ahead of it are Oakland, Rogers Park, Uptown, and Kenwood. West Ridge apparently has a visible African or Subsaharan African minority too, although most known for its Little India/Pakistan.

We're reaching just a wee little bit here, LOL!

Those were from 2010. I'm sure the 2020 census will show a healthy uptick in white residences in South Shore.

Close, but Winfield is over 97% white.

Interesting that, other than South Shore, those neighborhoods are mostly white. Subsaharan Africans are doing well in this country.

Oakland is majority black but gentrifying/Asianifying rapidly.

Just searched south shore apartments along the lake.

They all have complaints of maintenance issues like bed bugs or utilities not working. Can't believe even lakefront properties are still run by slum lords.

If you use google maps to ride around the south shore area, the homes look pretty well kept.

Where are these apartments? And did they get $300-500K for them?

They didn't pay crap (pardon my grammar). My father-in-law had one of these jobs, and he lived in an 800 square foot house that today's middle class wouldn't be caught dead in.

I don't even want to get into the idea that today's "middle class" has the same opportunities that the middle class of the 1960s did. I think any statistic you could cite would refute that, at least in terms of job opportunities and wages.
You're basically defining the middle class in the 1960s as people who had opportunities, and the middle class in the 2010s as people who do not. They are different people with different skill sets. The working class of the 1960s, with high school educations and factory jobs, had some opportunity if they could get in one of the protected industries (autos and steel) that produced low-quality, uncompetitive products at high prices, and which started to lose massive amounts of money as soon as U.S. markets were opened to foreign competition. These jobs were strictly unionized and the positions were basically inherited, white male to white male. Only a small percentage of Americans ever had these jobs and they represent rent-seeking at its worst, a small politically influential minority racking up profits at the expense of everybody else. The overall standard of living in the 1960s was 1/3 to 1/2 what it is now - most working people lived VERY modestly - but, then as now, some people did very well; just different people. Now it's lawyers, MBAs, marketing professionals, human resources professionals (whatever those are), and massive numbers of tech workers. Times change and the needs of the economy change.

I think by and large, Chicago is a wonderful place for young professionals right now. Probably better than it's ever been.
Yes, it is.

I don't know if any area has more beautiful housing stock than the southside of Chicago. Hyde Park, Kenwood, MLK drive...just some huge gorgeous homes and multi-units.

I'm doing a single family home flip in Bronzeville on 41st street and there is development alllllll up and down the blocks.
