SUMMARY FILE 3 GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE
Summary File 3 presents data for the United States, the 50 states, the

the block group for many tabulations, but only to the census tract levels
for others. Summaries are included for other geographic areas such as Zip

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE FOR THIS FILE
Chicago Community Areas are 77 neighborhood areas within the City of
Chicago, which are commonly used for statistical purposes. They comprise
groups of census tracts, consecutively numbered in most cases. In this
file, Community Areas are aggregates of whole or partial census tracts
located within the boundaries of the city of Chicago.
HOW THE DATA ARE PRESENTED
For this file, the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC)
and the Chicago Area Geographic Information Study (CAGIS) have created
three spreadsheets presenting selected Summary File 3 population and
housing variables for all 77 Community Areas located inside the city of

- Table DP-2. Profile of Selected Social Characteristics: 2000

Selected Housing Characteristics" table includes 100 variables of
